The Farm
- "The Farm. Like Masyaf, I guess, only not so, uh... creepy. Just a small desert community out in the middle of nowhere. About thirty of us living, you know, off-the-grid."
- ―Desmond Miles regarding The Farm.[src]
The Farm was an Assassin compound located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, outside Rapid City.[1] It was also the birthplace and childhood home of Desmond Miles, where he was to be trained as an Assassin.[2]
William Miles, Desmond's father, always spoke to him of their enemies, and to be prepared, but as Desmond complained, "No one ever came. Nothing ever happened." This, coupled with the fact that Assassins who lived in the Farm were not allowed to leave the compound, eventually prompted Desmond to flee the Farm and see the outside world.[2]
When the Assassins attempted to liberate Desmond from Abstergo in 2012, Warren Vidic revealed that the Assassin attackers were the last of the group from Desmond's birthplace. When Desmond asked Lucy Stillman – another Assassin who was undercover at the Abstergo laboratory where Desmond was being held – about his parents, she said that she did not know whether they had escaped.[2] William Miles is known to have escaped.[3]
