A detailed, well-thought out and nicely presented idea.
So, since I voted 'no', the least I can do is tell you why
1) Although I agree that there are a lot of interesting further building types that could be added to towns, farms / ranches aren't on that list. Farms / Ranches = Country, not Town.
2) One of the great things about The West are that its buildings are 'fire and forget' establishments. Once they are up, they do the job they were constructed for without constant maintenance being necessary. This proposed addition is completely at odds with this ethos.
3) If there was a farm providing pretty much of everything on the town doorstep, why (logically) would there ever be a need to travel anywhere else to do farm jobs ?
4) If (as the road map suggests) food and drink come to have restorative values, why can't we just buy food at the Hotel (which will presumably have some sort of restaurant / cafe attached?) and drink at the Saloon (since selling drinks is what Saloons are there to do...)? Why do we need the added complication of a Farm / Ranch to provide them instead ?
Sorry, but I really don't see much point to this.
