Morphology
The meaning 'a farm where milk is produced and processed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'dairy' (relating to milk production/processing) with 'farm' (a tract of land used for agriculture). This noun–noun compounding is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Dairy farm comes from the word dairy (places that make 'milk' and dairy products) and farm (land where animals are kept). It gives a clear picture: animals are milked on the farm to make cheese, butter and other dairy items, so today it means a farm that produces 'milk' and dairy goods.
