Blackpool
Farm signed for Blackpool, then in England’s top division, on a free transfer. He went on to break several appearance records and played in two FA Cup finals (see 1951 FA Cup Final and 1953 FA Cup Final).
Farm made his league debut for Blackpool on 18 September 1948, replacing an out-of-form Joe Robinson, in a home draw against Bolton Wanderers. Robinson did not play for Blackpool again, as Farm went on to play in 111 consecutive league games. The first game he missed, due to his receiving a first cap for Scotland, on 18 October 1952, Blackpool lost, 4-0 at Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Sharratt deputised for that game.
Farm also played in all 47 of Blackpool's FA Cup ties between 1949 and 1960, including their victory in 1953 final.
On 29 October 1955, in a 6-2 home defeat by Preston North End, Farm became one of the few goalkeepers to score a goal. He injured a shoulder and replaced Mudie at centre-forward, where he proceeded to open the scoring with his head. That season, Blackpool finished league runners-up to Manchester United, the highest finish in the club's history.
In February 1960, at the age of 35 and after over 500 first-team appearances for the Tangerines (all while in the top division), Farm was granted a transfer. Blackpool manager Ron Suart, who had once been the goalkeeper's teammate, accepted a bid of £3,000 for the Scot from Queen of the South.
