Finally came up with my farm name

Hi, I've been trying to come up with a name for my "farm" for a few years now. I want to make a nice sign to put up by the road, so I didn't want too long a name. And I might make my driveway a "Lane", so I would have to have a government street sign, and they might be restrictive on the Lane name...

All these critters frequent my land, so I thought this would make a pretty good sign, cut out of 1/4" plate steel.

I have a beautiful river all down one side of my land, and three ponds in the bottom land. And it's in Nova Scotia ("New Scotland"), so I thought I'd call it
"Uisge Hollow Farm", pronounced "whiskey".

Uisge is the Gaelic word for water, and I've got lots of that. And I have about 20 acres of bottom land, hence "hollow".

Bye for now,

Troy
 
Looks good. I kept it simple and just used my name. Besides,Poverty Point was already taken.

Northeast of Las Vegas there is an area called "Poverty Flats". Many people camp there for free. Most of them have solar panels and a honey wagon comes once a week from a marina on Lake Mead nearby to service them. It is just south of Overton, NV.
 
(quoted from post at 12:43:52 11/22/14) Northeast of Las Vegas there is an area called "Poverty Flats". Many people camp there for free. Most of them have solar panels and a honey wagon comes once a week from a marina on Lake Mead nearby to service them. It is just south of Overton, NV.

We've camped there quite a few times...one of our stops on the way to Lake Havasu...
 
The guys who bought my grandpa's farm dubbed it "Stick-a-buyer Ranch." They bought it for around 4500, 80 acres with a small trout stream, 1n the early 50s. They wouldn't have taken ten times that for it 10-15 years later. They used it mostly for hunting.

Years ago I used "Haywire Farm" on a return card to Farm Journal, just for fun, cuz so many things go haywire here. I STILL get an occasional mailing from folks they sold my name to. Then they denied doing that. Most mags do, and you have to tell them not to sell your info.
 
A friend of mines dad used to have a big sign hanging over the
entrance to their place that said "Oleo acres" I asked once about it
and he said it was because it was a cheap spread. He was one of the
three brothers that started the Baldknobbers show in Branson MO.
 
Hi Nice Design looks sharp, There is a guy near
here and one further north does them like
that, with steel and plasma. I like them, just
to expensive for our place.

You say all these wild animals live here.
Hopefully all the poachers around for 50 miles
aren't that smart to figure it out if they
don't already know, would be kinda a good
advert for them! L.O.L.
But hey you could put another sign underneath
with "Poachers welcome" $10 a gun, Leave money
in the box L.O.L.
Regards Robert
 
Hi Troy, nice name. where in Nova Scotia are you located? I reside in Cole Harbour and the Annapolis valley. Cheers, Murray
 
Isn't that close to the area where the nut job tried to start a war because he thought he could graze public land forever for nothing? I haven't heard anything about that for a long time. After all of his so called friends got bored and went home they probably quietly arrested him.
 
There's one not too far from here called "Oleo Acres...The Cheaper Spread". Always smile when I go by and read the sign. Our place was named for obvious reasons, the briar patch on top of the hill where we started training bird dogs. Mark
 
I thought about name my farm Sandbur Ridge Farm. Have a picture of a ear of corn, soybean pods and sandburs. Shouldn't be too hard to figure that one out. Chris
 
That's nice.
My first piece of property was 40 wooded acres.
I built a 20X24 hunting cabin on it - all from used and salvaged materials.
My extended family is all around me up there - a small, stubborn bunch of Frenchmen in a sea of Scandinavians and Germans.
When it came to naming the place I wanted to keep both my heritage and all the used building materials in the theme.
So I called it Chateau Debris.
 
The breeze here comes and goes so I named it "passing wind farm".... That'd be "braidhm tuathanas" in Gaelic, a language once common around here in Glengarry County, Ontario.
Nice design btw..
 
We bought our place in 1999 and my college age son sent an email saying that we should call it pital place. The wife and both laughed so hard that the name stuck.
 
Troy:

Beautiful sign, very appropriate considering your
description of your property.

Since I'm a MINER and everything that I have I own
outright, I thought it appropriate to name my place
the Itsall Mine. LOL
