I would say the other way around. A cluster is a type of farm.
I see a farm as a set of independent instances. I see a cluster as a
set of collaborating instances. You can deploy a non clustered
application to a farm whereby you do not have resilience in case of
service failure. And you can deploy a clustered application to a farm
to increase service resiliency if necessary.
