A farm is a piece of land used to produce useful plants or animals. Generally this is for food or clothing, but tobacco, for example, would also qualify, so there are other purposes. It might still be called a farm even if it no longer is used for that, as long as it could still be brought back into such use. Generally, it is also the business entity which is selling those plants or animals, but subsistence farms have no associated business, but are still a farm. If the piece of land is used primarily to raise herd animals, such as cows or sheep, it might be called a ranch, but that depends on the size. You would not call a very small farm raising cows a ranch.
