A '''"farm"''' is a facility constructed by the Cylons in an effort to solve their difficulties with sexual reproduction using both male and female human test subjects.<ref>{{cite_rdm_podcast|episode=The Farm|act=3|id=farms|timestamp=|totalrunning=}}</ref> There are multiple farms, with a notable one existing on occupied {{RDM|Caprica}} at the original [[Delphi Convalescent Institute]].  
A '''"farm"''' is a facility on occupied [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] (and presumably the other [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonies]]) constructed by the Cylons in an effort to solve their difficulties with sexual reproduction.
[[Kara Thrace]] and [[Sue-Shaun]] are taken to a farm after being wounded in an ambush. Inside, the farm held hundreds of women hooked up to medical equipment, used as living incubators. Thrace is cared for separately (and under the guise of mending from her injuries) and her case reviewed by a physician [[Simon]].


Such facilities are overseen by the [[Number Four|Fours]], although [[Number One]] doesn't agree with the religious tract that the research has taken on to the Cylons {{TRS|The Plan|No Exit}}.
According to [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]], the Farms actually "haven't been very successful" and presumably they have never actually succeeded in their goal of producing Cylon/Human hybrids.  This is why the Cylon experiment was developed which manipulated [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] into falling in love with Caprica-Valerii.  The Cylons theorized that the farms failed because a child must be conceived in love (keeping in mind that the Cylons believe that "God is love"), and as a result Caprica-Valerii had the first successful hybrid pregnancy.

After Thrace escapes, [[Caprica Resistance]] leader [[Samuel Anders]] promises her that his band of fighters would attempt to destroy as many of these farms as they could ([[The Farm]]).

{{callsign|Starbuck}} and [[Sue-Shaun]] are taken to a farm after being wounded in an ambush orchestrated by Caprica-Cavil {{TRS|The Farm|The Plan}}. Inside, the farm held hundreds of women hooked up to medical equipment, used as living incubators. Thrace is cared for separately under the guise of mending from her injuries and her case reviewed by a Four using his human name, Simon.


According to [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Agathon ''neé'' Valerii]], the Farms haven't produced viable Human/Cylon hybrid offspring, ergo the experiment that manipulates [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] into falling in love with Valerii.  Some Cylons theorize that the farms failed because a child must be conceived in love (in keeping with the Cylon belief that "God is love"), and as a result Caprica-Valerii carries the first and only successful hybrid pregnancy.
== Notes ==
 
* [[Ronald D. Moore]] has confirmed the farm seen in "[[The Farm]]", is not the only farm on Caprica. Many more exist, some using human men.<ref>{{cite_rdm_podcast|episode=The Farm|act=3|id=farms|timestamp=|totalrunning=}}</ref>
After Thrace escapes the farm where she is held, [[Caprica Resistance]] leader [[Samuel Anders]] promises her that his band of fighters would attempt to destroy as many of the remaining farms as they could {{TRS|The Farm}} before they are rescued months later {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I}}.
 
The farms are abandoned after the Cylons decide to leave the Colonies {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. It remains unknown how the captured humans are dealt with as a result of this decision.
