One of the most fun parts of having a farm is naming your new home. For most people it is a tough job putting a name on the one lifelong dream. A lot of people feel a farm should have a name so it sounds classy or businesslike. I think adding a name makes it personal and meaningful.

Names can come out of anywhere, but a lot of people name their farms after significant people, places, dreams or features of the land.

Online forums are dedicated to farmers looking for names, or looking to inspire others. Here are some very creative names:

*Rock Creek Gardens: Named after The Rock Creek that runs through this farm.

* Mack Hill Farm: located near Mack Hill

*Dogridge: This farm is home to dog lovers on acreage with rocky ridges through it.

*Busy Solitude Farm: Named after a quote by Votaire, “The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.”

* C ‘n’ J’s acres: C and J are the initials of the owners and sons.

Some states even allow you to register your farm name.

If you’ve dreamed of your own Fallen Oaks farm or C ‘n’ J’s Acres, it is a possibility! Farm loans are available. Check out the Farmer’s Financial Plus Web Site to learn more.

Look to what inspires your or is important to your life. Even if you don’t think it is “farmsy enough,” it will be creative and stand out.
