The Wetlands farm is in southwestern Wetlands roughly south of Menethil Harbor usually reachable by falling down the mountainside from near the Dun Morogh airfield. This is a series of small farmland plots around a pond at the base of a tall waterfall. Each farmland plot has haystacks and cows with a nearby dwarf-style house set into the hillside. The area itself is on a plateau above normal Wetlands areas. You can tell this area is not finished because the hills and valleys east of this area have strange unfinished looking textures with no plants or sensible variation. There are a few NPCS there, some cows, dwarven farmers and some guards. In the middle of the place there is a signpost with three directions. To the north it reads: "This way." To the west it reads: "The other way." To the east it reads: "That way." The way to the north goes up the left side of the waterfall and leads to a tunnel. The west end of the road leads to a dwarf style stable with rams and a hillside structure with a blocked door.

Tunnel to nowhere

The tunnel from the fork in the farm road leads to an empty opening to nowhere (inside the planet). If you fall from the opening you will see some strange stuff, but you will fall for a long time. You will hear the same sound you hear when you jump off Outland (A woosh kind of thing) and eventually die with your corpse in front of Ironforge, and your ghost will be in the graveyard by the Gates of Ironforge.

As A Ghost

If you jump through the opening as a ghost, you will appear to orbit around the inside of the planet in the direction you run (you can see yourself moving on the minimap, but you won't see yourself on land). Unless something has changed, the only way to revive yourself is to orbit in a direction that takes you to an area of the Great Sea where you will die of fatigue and appear at a graveyard.^{[citation needed]}

It seems likely that the farm is only for viewing when passing by on a gryphon, which would be why the tunnel leads to nowhere and the textures aren't more finely rendered. There has been no mention from Blizzard as to whether the farm will ever be finished, and while it hasn't been updated in recent times, there's reason to believe when flying in Azeroth becomes available in Cataclysm the area will be polished.
