Need help with name for Organic Grown Foods Operation

I am needing to come up with a gardening related name for my small organic vegatable growing operation. The problem is it needs to be 3 words in length and has to be based off of the letters ACR. So the name has to be "A"something "C"something "R"something. I have been beating my head against the wall for awhile and no results other than the first word could be "American". Thanks

What's the deal? You find an old "ACR" sign at a garage sale?

LOL no, i already have a sales tax number with the letters ACR so if i can find a word to build off of each letter then i can still use that number without having to go through a whole lot of hassles. ACR would still be the technical name.

I thought it was either that or that old "ACR" tattoo, lol. Are you comitted to "American" as the first word? There's all those generic ones... associated, allied, applied, all, ace, ajax! I don't know where you are, are you going to tie it in to your town/county/state?

I don't know what state you are in but I just got one here a couple months ago. Took me about 10 minutes online. Do they tax food in your state or are you selling non-food items?

Use the original name as the official corporate/company name and then register a dba with whatever name you want to use with the public.

Another Creative Resource.
A Creative Resource
American Creative (or Creating) R<something>
C could be for "Crop"

Grab a dictionary and go thru the letters. Just read down the A's, C's, and R's. R seems to be the most troubling.....grumblegrumble...unless you use Ranch.

Any geographic landmarks near you that start with A C or R?
Are you only selling locally?
Specializing in any one bit of produce?

Trying to help, but need to stir the creative juices.

Something with Rabbit at the end? Sort of like the restaurants called "the Orange Lizard" or the "Leaping Gorilla". They don't HAVE to be literal....just cute.

Maybe "Another Cosmic Rabbit" (type of thing) Hehehe.

Ok, YOU come up with something! Not so easy, huh??? <grin>

Exactly, you don't need to display a company name at a Farmers Market
the companies name is ACR - doesn't matter what it stands for.
