They are working on the farm.
1. Can we use "in " or " at" the farm?
2. If yes, give an example to "in" the farm.
thank you

Hello Dido

In British English, "working on the farm" means "doing farm work", while "working at the farm" tells you where they're working.

I haven't heard "working in the farm", though.

There's no "in the farm" in American English either.
