What does the farm mean to Candy and George in 'Of Mice and Men'?

For Candy it's a place where he will be needed and belongs. He's afraid that soon he won't be useful to any one, but no one will put him out of his misery like how his dog was put down.

For George, it's a place of his own and he doesn't have to listen to other people. He will be able to work when he wants and be in control of his life, and maybe even settle down with someone.
