Grammar note
“Der Bauernhof” is masculine, a compound of “Bauer” (farmer) + “Hof” (yard/courtyard) — literally “farmer's yard”. “Der Bauer” alone means “farmer”.
Common mistake
Don't drop “-hof” and say just “Bauer” when you mean the farm itself — “Bauer” alone means “farmer” (the person), not the property.
