What is a farm, as opposed to a grid or a cluster?

Viewed 6086

I'm trying to understand does "farm" mean in computing, so that, if a farm can be exemplified as a cluster, there must be something that a farm is independently of what a cluster is.

How is it different than a grid?

Do these concepts have a general meaning, where talking about for example web servers is only one common scennario, or do they differ deppending on the context completely? If so, what are the different meanings (or the most common ones)?

Also, should I be asking this somewhere else? (If so, my apologies).
