The term Spanish American Farm refers to two types of agricultural establishments that were common in the Spanish-speaking parts of the Americas. The first is a Rancho, which is a small farm or estate, typically with a house and outbuildings, that is used for raising livestock and growing crops. The second is a HACIENDA, which is a large estate or plantation, usually with a main house and several outbuildings, that is used for growing crops and raising livestock on a much larger scale.
