Check out the Peel & Stick Tile Backsplashs on Amazon. Lots of choices and reasonably priced. Also at Lowe’s or Home Depot, they have the faux “tin” ceiling tiles you can cut with scissors to put up as a backsplash too. Good luck.
There is no one “farm look“. My gut says “that look “ will be history when that show goes off the air, Most of my family farms....funny, none have white on the walls. It’s a nightmare to clean. What it does do is make the photography easier By reflecting light. Do what makes you smile when you look at it.

How about bead board. Very farm house and less expensive and less work than tile. Home Depot would probably cut it to size for you. It is paintable and you could use construction adhesive to attach or just tack it on with finish nails and install a piece of trim to add a finish. Then seal it with a few coats of polycrylic for washability and you are set. Easy to put up and easy to change out when you are ready to.
Strips of plywood cut to look like shiplap painted white, cedar shims glued in a herrringbone pattern (or like tile), paint a tile pattern
There are peel and stick tiles that can be painted, they have intriguing patterns and can be personalized to any area. Easy to apply and remove.
Start by either removing the paper, clean the glue off, and put some decorative Contact Paper. It come in numerous colors and prints. You can put it over the wallpaper but it won't look good, and the contact will stick quick, and it will rip the wallpaper off.
Sideways stained wainscoting. Measure, nail, trim done.
Use beadboard. Looks like it belongs in a farmhouse and doesn‘t cost a lot. Plus you can repaint it and change its looks.
