Nancy Gartenman	Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 2:21:37 PM Well how about that I named a Farm. That is just a pretty nice thing to know. Please consider that my prize. I mean that is pretty important and an honor. Thank you! Nancy Jo www.Nancy-Jo.blogspot.com
gspringman	Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 2:20:14 PM Jen, Yes it does. Wish I were smart enough to figure out how to do blog headers and buttons. Gail Farmgirl #486 http://grammasladybug.blogspot.com/ http://klamathfallscharmingchicks.blogspot.com/

gspringman	Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 12:30:36 PM Thank you for choosing me in third place. So glad you were able to choose your farm name. This was fun. Gail Farmgirl #486 http://grammasladybug.blogspot.com/ http://klamathfallscharmingchicks.blogspot.com/
Ruby V	Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 12:10:15 PM Yea, I found this topic again! I couldn't remember which forum it was in {laughing} Thanks so much for the second place honors! I was really surprised! I'm glad you've found a fitting name for your farm! Ruby ~ Sister #3597
Dusky Beauty	Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 08:58:44 AM Great suggestions ladies, it was Sooo hard to pick "winners" because I think all the suggestions were "winningly" creative :) I really appreciate all the care that went into helping me, because was totally drawing a blank! First place honors go to Nancy Jo with "Silver Star Farm" (Now of Tonopah, AZ-- thanks for the last minute entry!) It suits history, my animals, and any products I may market. The only google search brings up a horse boarding ranch in New Hampshire... pretty different type of place! and should not cause any confusion. There are a few more Silver Stars on facebook, but I've got some ideas to work with there! Did you know that I also hail from "The Silver State?" :D It works on so many levels! Second place goes to Ruby V for "Golden Sun Farm". It was a close one between the two, especially since the majority of my eggs come from "Golden 300" ducks. :D Third place goes to Gail for "Dry Crick Farm", very creative-- We actually have a "river" about a mile away called the Hassayampa that is only wet during a monsoon, and counless "dry cricks" and washes! It would be such a funny "in" joke for the locals. Thank you Luanne, Candy, Sharon, Diane, Madeline, Deborah, and Joey for participating! (hope I didn't forget anybody!?)

Ruby V	Posted - Feb 09 2012 : 9:08:01 PM What a neat idea! I posted on your site, but will also post my suggestion here: Since the name Silvermoon Farm means so much to you, I'd suggest something that is the opposite reflection - Golden Sun Farm. The sun gives life to everything you grow or raise on the farm. A cheery yellow sun label would give a nice warm feeling to any product you might sell in the future. Good luck with your farm!

Joey	Posted - Feb 09 2012 : 09:58:21 AM Madaline, I feel that way about Arizona too. The only thing I have left to do on my bucket list is to see my DH see the Grand Canyon. Love it there. Joey Well behaved women rarely make history.
fille de ferme	Posted - Feb 09 2012 : 04:07:45 AM Hi :) I like Deborah could not post on your blog. Not sure if you received my email. So, I will post here. Like I said when I first seen AZ. Little Bit of Heaven, just add Farm ;) Blessings
Dusky Beauty	Posted - Feb 08 2012 : 7:54:21 PM Lovely entries gals! I will be closing the contest at 12 am pacific on monday feb 13th. (through sunday night in other words.) How I am going to do it is first place will get first pick of the 3 prizes picked out, 2nd place second choice, etc. I may still play around with the "winning" names to piece a name together that doesn't infringe on an established farm name, or make adjustments to fit a business card :D either way, this sure is a fun contest to judge!!
