Morphology
The meaning 'a girl who has grown up on a farm' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'farm' (agricultural land) and 'girl' (a young female). This simple noun–noun compound follows regular English composition and has clear cross‑linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Farm girl comes from the clear picture of a farm and a girl: a girl who grows up on a farm and helps with animals and fields. So, it means 'a girl from the countryside' or 'a girl used to farm life'.
