Since we have such an active and creative audience on this page, I thought I would post this here. I need help coming up with a farm name. I’ve been wracking my brains for 3 years and still can’t find a name that really FEELS right. I’m not interested in keeping it super simple like using our names or initials but I may have to give in and do that because I need to register my goats but I need to register them under a farm name. This will be a long post but I’m going to write up some info about us and the area where we live, hoping to provide inspiration. Currently we raise chickens and goats and have veggie gardens. In the future I’d like to get pigs and rabbits. My husband grows Hops and is a popular local Home Brewer. We live in the mountains in a pine forest, so there is a woodsy/woodland/whimsical aspect that I would like to capture. We live in California, near Placerville in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, which was established back in the 1800s during the height of the California Gold Rush. Placerville was originally named “Dry Diggings” since it was a gold mining town where the miners would dig up dry dirt and gravel and cart it down to the river to pan for gold. However, the town was most commonly referred to as “Old Hangtown” since they performed hangings as a means of justice (charming, huh?). In 1850 the Temperance League asked to rename the town to something more friendly and it was renamed to Placerville. The area where we live is a quiet agricultural area in the heart of the wine country. This works out really well because we love wine We live on 5 acres on a lot that is hidden on the back of a hillside nestled in the woods - mostly pine trees with a few oaks dappled about. Lots of wildlife – deer, rabbits, fox, hawks, eagles, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, raccoons, skunks – you name it, we have it. That’s about all I can think of. If you have an ideas on a farm name I’d love to hear it. Ive heard a lot of cute suggestions but you know how it is – you need something that just feels right. Thanks!
