Would you like to see the Farm?
In episode 4 or 5? Based from the panels I saw on internet it looks like a great setting for some dramatic action, really fable-like and quite atmospheric.
Though it is somewhat strange for the Big Bad Wolf to be allowed to go there I guess. Is he welcome there in the comics?

Bigby is not allowed at the farm in the comics
Assumed as much. What about undercover then? There is a speculation that "In Sheeps Clothing" title for episode 4 may mean that.
Maybe but I have a feeling he won't.
We'll see I guess. I wouldn't mind it at all, personally.
Still, you haven't answered me, would you like to see the Farm in this game?
What does the farm look like/who is in it?
I have a feeling that title is less literal and more a reference to Bigby's mental state/how Fabletown view him. His human form is his Sheep's clothing, because he's really the Big Bad Wolf underneath it all.
Only way we'd get to see the farm is if we get to play as Snow White, or if a non-human rebellion gets out of hand, whoops! Gave away too much!
The overarching theme in TWAU is the Rich and Poor, the story is focused on the slum areas of NYC/Fabletown, like the trip trap and pudding n pie, in contrast to the classy woodlands apartments. I doubt we'd see the farm in this season at least, as we seem to visit all locations multiple times (except some areas in ep1), to show us their deteriorating state (hollys bar after fight etc)
As mentioned in the game, there live animals without the glamour like flying mokeys, Colin's brothers, bears and other animals. There also lives man thats indebted for it (can't remember his name).
Farm looks like normal village with a barn and bunch of houses (as I seen in the comics, but haven't read that much).
I think slum is the wrong word, but you are right
You have a point there, though the Farm strikes me as sort of a dystopian prison, you know like the Village from the great british TV series "The Prisoner". It might add more atmosphere to the game, not that it's necessarily needed though, game is pretty atmospheric already.
But I don't get one thing, are those creatures at the Farm for some reason unable to use glamour on themselves? Isn't that all what it takes to live in the city?
They can't afford it. The ones that are on the brink of poverty presumably get black market glamours from illegal witches. I haven't read the comics , so I don't know how you get glamour money on the farm.
Glamours must be very expensive then. But, from my point of view, magic that is needed to hide entire Farm inside of New York can't be cheap either. Actually one would guess that it's cheaper to finance glamour for every individual than maintain the Farm.
