Yes, "Home Farm" is a very common name for many real, often historic, houses and farmhouses across the UK, with famous examples including the one used for Creskeld Hall in Emmerdale (a real place) and other architecturally significant properties like those in the Cotswolds or Rutland. The name itself just means a farmhouse belonging to the home estate, so many properties share it, but specific, notable "Home Farms" exist in reality.
The Hall has been privately owned by the same family since 1919 being purchased by Bertram Parkinson, the grandfather of the current owners. It was then the home of Colonel Sir Malcolm Stoddart-Scott OBE MC TD, Member of Parliament of the local constituency from 1945 until his death in 1973.
Emmerdale is filmed on a purpose-built set on the Harewood Estate near Leeds, West Yorkshire, since 1998, though the fictional village originated in the real Yorkshire Dales villages of Arncliffe (early seasons) and later Esholt (1976-1997), which became famous as the show's location. Visitors can tour the current permanent set and see locations like Otley (fictional Hotten) and Esholt.
Kim currently lives at Home Farm with Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley), her boyfriend, Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), and her three children, Clemmie (Mabel Addison), Lucas (Noah Ryan Aspinall), and Evan (Malachi McKenzie).

Yes, you can visit the exterior of The Woolpack pub on the official Emmerdale Village Tour, but for the actual interior set, you need to go to the separate Emmerdale Studio Tour (or Experience), as the village set's pub is just a facade, while the Esholt pub is the real-life, historic location. You can book guided tours to explore the outdoor set with its iconic locations like the pub exterior, or visit the studio for the replica interior, plus see the real pub in Esholt for a drink and meal.
