Does Your Farm/Place Have A Name?

Here is mine.

We were going to name it Rancho Costa Lotta, but the name didn't fit the property. So the unofficial name is High Hopes Ranch.
 
Grew up on a hard-scrabble dairy farm in the 50's- Dad called it Poverty Flats. Wife calls our present place Pura Vida Paso Finos.
 
Our farm is Catalpa Grove Farms, though the Catalpa Grove got bulldozed in '95. My place is Kostalot, established 2005.
 
I don't have an official name except the family name. I've thought a few times of calling it Money Pit Farms. My wife says the way I put off her jobs, I should call it the Procrastination Plantation. But since I'm pretty well doing what I want but it still a gamble the dual meaning fits....Pair-a-dice Farm
 
Nothing but our name. But considering an 'official' name. Like 'Rusty Plow Farm' or 'Rusty Iron Acres'.....Have a couple of old rusty plows out by the mailbox,
 
My buddy showed up at home one day with a sign on his lawn that says Lotta Bull Ranch. He never did decide if he likes it.

My grandpa sort of calls his farm Hillcrest. Simply because the farm is on a big one square mile hill that they say never had a glacier over it.

The land is always named by whoever owns it or whoever used to own it. It's simple.. But simple.

The old guy who owned the original quarter section here called it the whitey farm cause he rented the farm house to a truck driver they called whitey for years.
 
Hey Rodge,
You out by Catalpa Grove tap on Route 91?
Don't need to ask how I know about that!

Ours does not have a name, but "El Rancho Starvo" would fit pretty well.
Or maybe "Oleo Acres" because its one of the cheap spreads.
 
Tara.. was chosen by the 1st wife 30 yrs ago ,,. I liked it then ,, and I like it now... land is the only thing that lasts.
 
When I first was starting out I bought a place that had a county graveyard
kitty corner across the road. I called my place "Dead View Farms". Once I moved to this farm up the road 20 years ago I went back to what Grandpa and Dad used to call us, "Baker Farms".
 
Back in the 50s when the dairy farmers were trying to keep margarine off the shelves in Minnesota. There was a place on the east side of US 59 just south of the Minn line that had a sign........OLEO ACRES (one of the cheaper spreads)
 
Meadowbrook farm, as there is a small stream that runs the full length of the property through a meadow on the back of our farm.
 
Ingvar Villum Gard. Those who speak Norwegian can decode that. Ingvar Villumsen from GGF at Ellis Island. changed to Igor Williams. Changed again to Williamson
 
Back in the 70s I jokingly filled out a info return card in a Farm Journal magazine with the name Haywire Farm- since everything was going haywire. I still get mail with that line, from other sources...since FJ and other rags sell their mailing lists. They"ll do anything to make a buck.
 
Our place was called Jan's Pumpkin Patch. Used my wife's first name and it was mainly her business. She sold pumpkins, gourds, melons, and indian corn for 22 years.
 
Whiteside acres. Named after a great grandmother on the dads side back in 1948. I could call it whatever I want but left it so far.
 

Mine's 'The Pea Patch'. Don't have any peas but that's about the size of it! :lol:
 
Pau Hana Plantation

Branches in London,Honolulu,and Garden Prairie Il

(means dun wurkin in Hawai'ian)
 
Wasn't there someone on YT a few years ago that called their place "Poverty Place" or "Poverty Acres"?
 
Log House Llamas. When we started that venture we had a log house, but not now (OK, a log sided garage is all now).
 
Rorymor Farms The name came from Scotland where my ancestors came from.As legend has it before You become of age you have to drink a highland cattle horn full of spirits without sitting or falling down.Some of us will never come of age.
 

Our old place we called "Faux Farm" because all the locals thought any place with more than an acre and some goats and chickens qualified as a "farm". We knew better. Faux= false or fake, imitation.

This place I call "Hopeless Acres" at present. It will forever be The Raven Farm to the long time locals. It seems whoever owned the farm when the boys got back from WW2, well the owners name stuck. I have the deeds to all the property and the Raven family wasn't even the family owning it for the longest period, but that's just the way things go.
 
Williams Pond Farm. Bought the place in 2007, finally got the pond dug in 2012... Wife was born on a place called Williams Pond in PA so seemed to fit.

A retired local doctor has 40 acres he plays around on. An arched sign over the driveway proclaims it to be "Hernia Hill".
 
Most of the buildings on my farm were built in 1886. It has Osage Orange trees, hedgewood, bordering the pasture so I called it Hedgewood Acres. I've constructed a Web site of photos of my farm at
Hedgewood Acres
 
My daughter calls the place "Camp Runamuck". From what my 8 and 11 year old Grandsons and I do when they visit.

Nice website!
 
Dog Heaven Farm, since 1986. If you're a dog you'd think you died and went to heaven. The post office even knows the moniker...I get mail all the time with the wrong address but the farm name on it and those fine folks down at the Paw Paw post office know it's for me. JD
