what does that mean? like they were bred or cought?
not into balls so i think it mostly depends on you.
far as i know farmed is wild caught gravid females some offspring are kept other released, as well as the female for future breeding?
for a first snake i would probably try to get a cb=captive bred from a well known breeder.
a ball python forum would probably be able to give you better information and recommendations.

It's bad. Normal ball pythons are so cheap that it makes no sense to settle for captive hatch/captive farmed snakes. Spend $40 on a normal captive bred ball python as opposed to $25 for a captive hatched/farmed snake.
Captive farmed/hatched snakes are normally eggs that are taken from the wild and incubated at a facility. You normally have to deal with much bigger problems with those types of snakes---and you also run into the parasite risk with them.
found a good description
Captive farming is when gravid or ‘pregnant’ females are captured and then kept in captivity until they lay their eggs. The females are then usually released and the eggs are incubated. The babies are then exported. Very rarely will they be fed until they reach their destination.
