Uncertain. Possibly:

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“tip, point”), whence also Latin far (“emmer, spelt”), Proto-Germanic *baraz (“barley”) and Proto-Slavic *boršьno (“flour”).
Akin to Ancient Greek φάρμακον (phármakon, “drug, medicine”), from a tentative common Proto-Indo-European root *bʰer- (“cure with herbs”).
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰewH- (“to grow”), whence also Ancient Greek φυτόν (phutón, “plant”), Old Armenian բոյս (boys, “plant”).

From Old French bars (12th c.), from Frankish *bars, from Proto-Germanic *barsaz (“perch”).
