Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'pot' (cannabis) combined with 'farm' (tract of land) directly yields a farm where marijuana is grown, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning. The additional pragmatic detail (often secret) is a contextual nuance but does not prevent understanding of the core referent.
Etymology
Pot farm names a farm where pot, a slang word for 'marijuana', is grown. Because this growing is often illegal, the phrase now means a hidden or secret plot of land used to grow it.
