I pass a farm named "Witt's End" every day on my way to work.
We live on Lick Creek, so we are considering "Lick and a Promise Farm" for our homestead.

Our is unoffically "ODAT ACRES".

Stands for "one day at a time". Pretty much how we take life on the farm.
The locals call our place the "ol harding place" after the man who owned it for years and years

A few years back I bought an adjacent farm that had LESSIO as its name painted on the milk house.

Will blackberries grow in southeast AZ? We have soil where pecan and pistascio trees grow. Don't know what the Ph is. We are at 4400 ft. Hot summers and dry winds.

The next place that I own will be Freehold Farm -- Grandma owns this place and it's sorta called Blue Juniper Farm (one acre, sheesh!). The Juniper is my youngest daughter's name, who lives with me and always will; the blue came from thinking about names and rejecting Blue Willow, was looking around at all the juniper trees in this area and thought Blue Juniper would work. The place I owned with my husband in NH is called Stonycroft, and if you look at the old threads in the links above you'll find the explanation for that someplace!

Semper Fi Farm. Meaning "always faithful" farm. Kind of a Marine thing, just can't help it. I get out of it what I put into it. No more, no less.

Cool name for homestead

Our 'place' is 1.25 acres and it is fenced all around to keep the birds in and the coyotes out and to keep the rotties in as well LOL. Since the fence is so high we installed security cams around the fence so we can see what is going on 'outside' we decided to call our place "The Coffman Compound" everyone just calls it "the compound." We like it LOL

If you're Christian and Biblically oriented, how about "Rehoboth"? It means "there is room for us".

We're considering Howling Acres in honor of our wolfdogs that do more than their share of "singing".

Assuming Clark must be your last name.LOL Mine to! We live in a city with of all names Clarksville. Nope we have nothing to do with the name of the city.So i wouldnt want to use our name on a sign.Although Clarksville might make a good name for a farm.

My grandfather named his place many years ago the (Lower Forty's).While I'm not trilled with the name we will still use it as well one day.Just cause.

Depends on what is there. Maybe. Some I know had lots of geese and lots of noise from the geese and called it Quackanhonk. It has been sold. Where they are now is tons of deer and geese. Deergoosee.
Try putting some names together as to what is there. S.

My place is The Tiergarten - German for "animal garden" and also an old-fashioned word for zoo. It fits to a "t"

Other places here in town are "George's Corner" (not very inventive), "Oleo Acres - one of the cheaper spreads" (love it), and the EC Bar Ranch (after their brand, I guess).

We just moved to our new home that has 5 acres. We are naming our small farm , EIEIO Farm. Our grandkids think that this is Old Macdonalds farm & keep calling it the eieio. They're only 2 & 3 yrs old(the grandkids that is). We are going to make a sign to hang out front. The 2 yr old switched the e & i & says this is the ie ie. Love those babies & their way of seeing things! Got any small ones around? Check with them & se how they view your homestead. Happy Holidays to all! Patti
(I've been lurking too long this year. We were so busy with selling our other home & buying this one. Now we're settling in and I'm making time to get more active with posting.)

My ideas....

My mother's craft business name is Rocky Acres Crafts as where she started it, about 2.5 miles from here where I grew up, and where we live now in the Missouri Ozarks has plenty of rock on the acreage.

My mother named her homestead here Masada, her last stand after moving around so many times before I was born.

I will call my little homestead I am building 100 yards west of her garden Molan Labe Masada. Though a mix of Spartan Greek (Molan Labe - Come and get them) and Hebrew (lMasada - last stand) my thought is if they want to mess with me and my homestead, they "Can come and them them as this is my last stand". Perhaps a bit militant, but this is where I am happy and I refuse to let someone destroy, infringe or otherwise ruin my enjoyment of the land here.

While researching about the lil' town we bought land in "Chesaw" we found several sights about "Bipedes Giganticaus" <(sp?) BIGFOOT....they are on the protected spieces list in WA....they have been spotted in the area...So we decided to call our place "Sasquatch Shadows"....and we await our first visit.....
