Exactly. That's why I suggest (and some others) to deprecate place=farm.
Otherwise, we will see in the futur place=restaurant, place=manufactory,
place=watermill, etc as soon as it is named and not part of a bigger place
(isolated).

No reasons to stop this mess where in the past the place hierarchy was quite
clear:
city > town > village > hamlet > locality
and suburb as part of a city or town
