Going back a ways, it originated with growing crops.  Then, it began being 
used for some other agricultural uses, such as a "pig farm".

Later, it began to be used for moderately open land, with collections of 
other stuff, such as a group of windmills became a "wind farm" (Altamont 
pass).

>From there, it evolved into collections of anything, such as "server 
farm", and even "cube farm".
