While today’s sinks are available in many different styles and materials, the earliest farmhouse sinks were strictly kitchen workhorses.
It emerged in Ireland and England in the 17th century. On the one hand, due to the lack of indoor pipes and artificial water intake, farmhouse sinks were necessary. On the other hand, because the application range of the sink is very wide. From preparing food to washing clothes to washing clothes for children, it is very comfortable to use.
The popularity of the farmhouse sink spread from the British Isles into France by the late 19th century. It was eventually moving into the United States in the 1920’s.

Notice
As a result of their unique design, farmhouse sinks require some unique installation considerations.
Keep in mind that countertop cutouts may need to be adjusted to accommodate the dimensions of a farmhouse sink.
Secondly, due to the depth of the basin, you need to install a new cabniet. Depending on the material you choose, you may need to install a bracket to support the weight of the sink.
Lastly, it is important to keep in mind that, unlike top mount sinks, your faucet, and sink accessories (such as soap dispensers and air gaps) will be installed behind the sink, requiring additional holes to be drilled into the countertop material.
