Ana,
Think of prepositions of place. You live on a farm, but live in a farmhouse. The first is the agricultural unit which includes the fields, pastures etc as well as the human living area and the second is simply the residential area itself (you wouldn �t live on a house - normally). |

Hi, if you listen to the song "Old McDonald had a farm" there is ON HIS FARM he has some ducks etc..
Maybe IN is used when you think of a farm as a whole, meaning really inside the farm.
Like when you say: "I arrived AT the station" but "IN London" as a whole big place.
Hope to be useful. Have a nice day!
