1badmamawolf	Posted - Jul 15 2009 : 4:02:29 PM When my husband and I first bought our land 36 years ago, one of the first things we did was fence, and cross fence along with pastures and corrals. No matter how hard we tried, and with the proper equipment and many people helping, not one fence here came out straight, so we deceided that since we had not named the place yet, it would become "Bent Fence Farm", and the name stuck. Most of my neighbors have been here forever also, and they know the story, but when someone new comes along, I have to tell the story, and they look at me with a total question mark on their faces, but even with crooked fences, they are my fences, and I love them all, lol "Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children"

levisgrammy	Posted - Mar 28 2021 : 07:21:51 AM It's been ages since I visited this thread. I didn't see Jana response. The two reasons Jana were because of all the lilacs that are here in the woods and because our house is on a hilltop. ~Denise Sister #43~1/18/2007 "I am a bookaholic and I have no desire to be cured."

Sallie Dee	Posted - Mar 28 2021 : 06:05:31 AM I searched for so long for our farm so four years ago when we finally found it I knew it needed a very special name. The perfect name came to me shortly after purchase as we were moving in. It is named after both our mothers. My husband’s mom’s name was Gladys and my mom’s name was Lori and so to honor them we chose Morning Glori Farm. “Glori” is a perfect combination of their names and pays such a beautiful tribute to the incredible strength and wisdom that they both showed throughout their lives and to the true legacy of love that was left behind. I hope our farm will reflect all this and more in the years to come.
amomoffour	Posted - Nov 14 2020 : 5:50:51 PM I named our farm God's half acre because my part of our property for raising veggies and flowers is approximately 1/2 acre. And truth be told it ALL belongs to God so that's where the name began. Ruth Farmer

Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Jun 28 2020 : 12:13:28 PM Grace, I really like that new name for your farm! And Hubby did an awesome job with the first announcement of a new name. Weather proof and everything!! Hehehe, I am thinking those Pink Flamingoes must be lost because they sure area long way from home!! LOL!!! Just goes to show you, they might be deciding that even Florida is too hot for them too and heard about the nice summers in the Pacific NW from some of the Winter birds who come and stay down in the Miami area.!! LOL@!! Shoot, I would do the same thing because it has been punishing hot and humid here the past 2 weeks! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018

YellowRose	Posted - Mar 28 2020 : 2:42:42 PM Winnie you can name your home like the British name their cottages. I live in a small house - on a small lot - in Paris - a town of 24,000. I named my home Little Eden because it's my little Eden. Then I have my Yellow Rose Cottage. BTW I always like looking at your log house room. Well done.

Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Mar 28 2020 : 2:05:41 PM This thread is fascinating about how farms actually get named. This Farmgirl has always lived in the suburbs, but since I can't live on a farm, I created my office space into a log cabin with wallpaper and paint!! It is filled with old antiques and primitives which is what I would love to have if I could have a farm with a log cabin!

Dreamer42	Posted - Mar 28 2020 : 09:53:16 AM While we don't have a farm or any acreage yet... we call our corner of the earth: Casa di Tre Re which means home of three kings in italian. Italy calls to my heart and soul and three kings represents my hubba hubba and two sons! Dreamer42 Farmgirl Sister #7038
Tchr66	Posted - Mar 23 2020 : 1:14:29 PM My great grandfather purchased this farm about 80 years ago. I am the 5th generation to live here. When my mother and I were working on crafts and baked goods to sell, we found a need to come up with a name. We settled on JENT Harmony Acres. Judy(Mom) Edna(Grandma) Nancy(lil' sister) Terri(that's me) Harmony (Music has always been very much a part of our lives. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord Joshua 24:15
Ladybek9756	Posted - May 21 2018 : 07:38:23 AM We have owned our farm going on year 2. While the name has been a struggle to find the right one, we finally settled on The Thumb-Print Farm. The name came about while looking at farms for sale here in Maine, when we say this one from Google Earth, the pine tree area looked like a thumbprint. So that is how the name came about. Friends, like heirlooms, are a special treasure! FGOTM June 2017
HollerGirl56	Posted - May 14 2018 : 10:39:06 AM You are sure braver than me. I have seven dogs and they are so badly behaved I don't think I could stand to go two miles with them. I will be thinking of you on your June journey. Good Luck. Life isn't finding shelter in the storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain.===Sherrilyn Kenyon
doctordar	Posted - May 13 2018 : 08:03:23 AM I have really enjoyed reading the posts from the beginning of this thread and the stories of how your properties were named! My husband and I were friends in high school. He went off to the Navy and we both moved on with our lives. Twenty-eight years later, we reunited and were married in 2005. I had a house on 2.5 acres in So Cal and after he moved in we built a 20x40 building we called the ShanDar Saloon (my husband’s name is Shannon). We had many parties out there over the years. Almost two years ago, we bought a house in eastern WA on 23 acres. Shannon retired and has been working on that property, while I finished out my teaching career. I retire next month and we will be completely relocating to our retirement home. We call the WA property ShanDar Too, which has the double meeting of the Too (Two). We have 4 chickens and 2 dogs (had 4 more chickens but cayotes wanted a chicken dinner) in WA. In So Cal we have 11 dogs and a cat. All 13 dogs and lone cat will be riding with us in our motor home when we leave in June for WA. Should be an interesting journey! Dream - Believe - Manifest Farmgirl #7049
HollerGirl56	Posted - Mar 23 2018 : 08:56:15 AM I inherited land from my grandfather-we have been on the land since the 1800's. I am the seventh generation here. We built a house here in 1998. We named it Rock Bottom Farm because it is so rocky and we ae always broke.It is a hobby farm and we do farm but it is fun, We returned here and reclaimed the land in 1998. It has been a long journey but a great one. we m
janamarieje	Posted - Oct 06 2017 : 12:07:06 PM and what is the second reason Denise?

levisgrammy	Posted - Oct 06 2017 : 11:58:43 AM Our place is called Lilac Hilltop for those two reasons. I was surprised to find so many lilacs growing in the woods here when we moved in. ~Denise~ Farmgirl Sister #43 "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."

Tumbleweed	Posted - Oct 05 2017 : 12:55:44 PM Hi Ambrosia I had heard this info before. Not many people know this about the word Pagan. Thank you for sharing. TW *The fun begins where the pavement ends!*
Brosia	Posted - Oct 04 2017 : 6:03:33 PM We call our little homestead "Pagan Acres". It started as a joke when we got our first chickens, and then just kind of stuck. I love this name because it works on two levels. The first and most obvious is that my wife and I are practicing Pagans, and we try to work our reverence of Mother Nature into our farming practices. The second meaning is a little more obscure. Many people don't realize that the word "pagan" originally had nothing to do with religion, and actually means "country dweller".
Randi in N Idaho	Posted - Mar 09 2017 : 12:46:40 PM I had a blast reading through everyone's post! Our currently property and ADGA heard name is Hera's Homestead. Hera is the name of a beautiful and motherly cat who also happens to be the first animal we acquired after moving to our property. From my own children to other critters who have joined us, Hera makes sure everyone is well nourished and taken care of. She also joins me for all my outdoor chores around the 'stead, so it seemed perfect naming the place after her. My husband is currently looking for a new job, which means a move is in our future. Of course Hera will be going along on the journey, but it will interesting to see what our next property is named. ~Randi
