My farm is Cowbridge Farm. Not the most appealing name, but it was sort of thrust on me by fate. One fall we were having a stream crossing put in by a neighbor with a backhoe. He kept calling it "the cowbridge" because it allowed the cows to cross the stream without breaking down the banks.
 
At the same time, I was looking for a farm name, doing various Internet searches, and 'cowbridge' was on my mind. I came across a farm called Cowbridge Farm...it was in the small village of Wigglesworth, England. Who am I to resist that kind of message :-)

Subject: [Market-farming] Farm names

I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a farm name.  I'm not a name person but after all the people asking what my farm is called I decided to try to name it.  I came up with a few that were catchy  but there seems to be something wrong with all the ones except the ones I wouldn't remember LOL.  I came up with Alchemy Acres with the slogan "Turning Dirt into gold" but that has some chemical images associated with it. I've been suggested names like Golden Acres  just Wyatt's Farm but those just don't seem memorable.  Then I had ones I thought of like Pear tree farm Pheasant farms, etc, I have some nice pear trees and Pheasant on the property, but though those names are nice they just don't grab me.  I must be pretty naive because I didn't even think about the last one I thought of, Edible Ecstasies, having sexual connotations, but it was the first thing about every woman I told thought of.  Wonder what that means LOL.  Anyway I don't want to make people think I'm selling some sort of edible vegetable underwear so its back to the drawing board.  Any suggestions about how to go about this or anyone have a good name?.  I hesitated to post this to the board because people here don't know me very well but I'm starting to run out of ideas, maybe I'm expecting too much out of a name but its probably the first line of a good marketing strategy I think, or at least it could be.
