Settings on farms. The natural home of the CountryCousin, CountryMouse, DeterminedHomesteader, FarmBoy, FarmersDaughter, HalfWittedHillbilly, and anyone with a HayseedName. Stories set here tend to focus on the [[SliceOfLife day-to-day struggles]] and drama of running and operating a farm -- though an [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere interruption by the extraordinary]] is not out of the question.

Farm settings are a fixture of TheCityVsTheCountry plot, where the farm's residents are usually CloserToEarth thanks to the [[MiseryBuildsCharacter character-building]] hard work of farming. Due to the fact that farming was more common in the past, many works treat this setting with a certain amount of nostalgia. In American media, this often overlaps with SettlingTheFrontier, as taming the land through farming is linked with national ideals of UsefulNotes/ManifestDestiny and determined individualism.

May overlap with PastoralScienceFiction.

* ''VideoGame/NordAndBertCouldntMakeHeadOrTailOfIt'': "Buy the Farm" has you on a traditional farm setting, with locales such as a shed and grain silo, and animals such as horses, cats, dogs, and donkeys. The farm has no inhabitants aside from the animals, and your goal is to fix it up, although you can travel to a nearby market once you find a means of transport. During this level, you do {{literal metaphor}}s like pinning the tail on the donkey, looking a gift horse in the mouth, putting the cart before the horse, and putting your nose to the grindstone.
