The farm is not just the building, but the land. You go walking on the Moors, you cycle on a track, etc. You are on a farm as soon as you are on the land owned and used by the farm. Therefore....

As others have rightly pointed out the correct term is ...'on a farm' ... which reference pertains to the whole of the land and buildings belonging to a farm enterprise - 'the farm'. If you were to use 'in' then you would be referring to something you entered eg. a building .... ie '..in a farm house... in a farm stable .....' if you referred to such buildings as 'on' then you would (as I would) be suffering vertigo!

Because you are on the farm
IE on top of the land used to grow crops
opposed to being in the farm
IE planted like the crops

Hi Brain
i guess its because on the farm as its such a big place and you could be anywhere, in the farm i think would be just a visit

Referring to a farm is like referring to being "on" a piece of land. You would only use "in" when you are talking about a specific item such as in the barn, in the farmhouse, ect.

Because the farm is 'on land' not 'in land'

I would use 'in the farm', if it were indoors.

You use on because you are not encompassed in something. If you are inside then you are encompassed.
