Imagine a big big house in the country with lots of cows, pigs, and fields of corn and wheat around it. This house is called a farmhouse. People used to build it a long long time ago to live in and work the land. They would wake up early in the morning and tend to the animals and crops. Sometimes they would work really hard to harvest the crops and sell it to other people. And at night, they would come back to the farmhouse and have a hearty dinner together. Nowadays, some people still live in farmhouses, and some of them rent them out to people who want to have a peaceful vacation away from the city.
