I think having your name in the farm name is a plus. I chose Rehoboth Homestead because I wanted a Biblical name, but no one can spell it. I will stick with it because it reminds me it is God’s farm, not mine, but from a marketing standpoint “Beth’s Garden” would be a better name. Folks like knowing your name.

Well the people that owned the farm from when the area was settled until the late 60's were named Rogers and the road is named after then so I thought of the PBS children's show Mr Rogers and thought about Mr Rogers Farm but I though people would think my name was Rogers and wasn't sure people would make a connection, I guess I was adding a humor aspect to the title.  I also later thought maybe that line I used " A Farm with no name " might fit and somehow connected that with the old America song but that just made my brain start buzzing this in my head

 

Well I was out in the field on a farm with no name

I was pickin corn in the rain

Well I just

didn't have a good name

And so I decided not to give it a name

 

Songs and poetry come easy to me but names never do

 

I'm thinking maybe "Fruits of Eden" since I seem to get in trouble with the other names or maybe "Wyatt's Way"  I hope those are safe LOL, if not I'm really in trouble!!

 

I've been asking everybody that will take an interest about this lately, customers, friends, this list other marketers etc.  I've found it helps to bounce ideas off them but I'm not getting any original ideas.  Still it helps to talk to them to see what they see as important about me and the farm and especially any negative ideas that the name might evoke.
