The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

farm
 n.

    A group of machines, especially a large group of near-identical machines
    running load-balancing software, dedicated to a single task. Historically
    the term server farm, used especially for a group of web servers, seems to
    have been coined by analogy with earlier disk farm in the early 1990s;
    generalization began with render farm for a group of machines dedicated to
    rendering computer animations (this term appears to have been popularized
    by publicity about the pioneering ?Linux render farm? used to produce the
    movie Titanic). By 2001 other combinations such as ?compile farm? and ?
    compute farm? were increasingly common, and arguably borderline techspeak.
    More jargon uses seem likely to arise (and be absorbed into techspeak over
    time) as new uses are discovered for networked machine clusters. Compare 
    link farm.


The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

processor farm
farm

    A parallel processor where tasks are
   distributed, or "farmed out", by one "farmer" processor to
   several "worker" processors, and results are sent back to the
   farmer.  This arrangement is suitable for applications which
   can be partitioned into many separate, independent tasks, the
   canonical examples being ray tracing and the Mandelbrot
   set.  In order to be efficient, the extra time spent on
   communications must be small compared to the time spent
   processing each task.

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Farm
   (Matt. 22:5). Every Hebrew had a certain portion of land
   assigned to him as a possession (Num. 26:33-56). In Egypt the
   lands all belonged to the king, and the husbandmen were obliged
   to give him a fifth part of the produce; so in Palestine Jehovah
   was the sole possessor of the soil, and the people held it by
   direct tenure from him. By the enactment of Moses, the Hebrews
   paid a tithe of the produce to Jehovah, which was assigned to
   the priesthood. Military service when required was also to be
   rendered by every Hebrew at his own expense. The occuptaion of a
   husbandman was held in high honour (1 Sam. 11:5-7; 1 Kings
   19:19; 2 Chr. 26:10). (See LAND LAWS ¯(n/a); TITHE.)
