Help name that garden!

[GardenRN]

We have been trying to think of a good name for the garden/ micro farm for a while now....nothing has really stuck. So, maybe someone on here has a good idea.

We had a few ideas "Three Tiny Hands Farm" For the three kiddos, or "Ugly Fruit Farm" because the prettiest veggies are usually GMO or Hybrid. We had a few others too but as I said nothing has really stuck. It could be something related to the kids, chickens, state (Virginia), south.......ANYTHING. If nothing else, maybe some of your ideas will spur an idea in us!

Since it's in a different state, not sure whether it works or not, but the local farm here in MA is named Farmacy, which i thought was kinda awesome!

I sort of like the sound of Tiny Hands farm, though! Do you have any birds (other than chickens) that hang around?

Let's see...

There was a book about the back to the land movement and city folks trying to farm years ago, called Total Loss Farm. I always liked the self-deprecating quality of that.

Zooland for the kids, birds, and "it's a zoo around here" quality

Dogwood farm, since Flowering Dogwood is the Virginia state tree and it is gorgeous. Course you'd have to plant a dogwood or two, but that's not much of a hardship.

New Dominion (or Our Dominion, etc) because Va is nicknamed Old Dominion.

Ten Hands Farm, for all of you together or Just Us Chickens or Birds of a Feather Farm...

Is there a story behind your land? Name of original owners or other historical interest? Are there distinctive features, a creek, big old tree etc? Can you put everyone's names / initials together to make a word? A beloved pet or grandmother you would like to memorialize? Any ethnic heritage you want to celebrate?

Just some things to get you thinking...

Ok you got me thinking RG....but right now I'm at work and it's 4am so my thinking must be diverted for now....on that subject I mean lol.

Let us know what you decide on!

If I were to name my micro-farm, it would be Hackberry Hill, since my property is mainly a hillside, crowned by a gigantic old hackberry tree. Alliterations tend to make it catchy...

Given the current US economic status, call it the Recession Garden.

[!potatoes!]

how does working on stuff there make you feel? or harvesting?

names can come from anywhere, just keep open to them for a bit.

OK, I know this is not too original, but it works:

"Three Tiny Hands Farm" doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but I like the sound of "Tiny Hands Farm" as well.

For your sign, you could have your kids put handprints in different colors all over a white background (take a picture of that first) then write the name in black (I think) on top of that, perhaps with white surround for each letter to stand out the letters. And a small rectangle of the handprints (full scale or reduced scale then cropped) could be your logo for your letterheads and business cards and such. Also, for design on the cheap, stock multi-colored handprint design is fairly common and you can get pre-printed, ready-made printer papers that can be folded into brochures, letter papers, etc.

Oops! Sorry. You got my imagination going....

How big does a garden need to be to merit a name?

Mine is an old paddock, and it's up against a bridle path called Thoroughbred Trail. It's about half planted with pumpkins, with the rest being assorted vegetables. It's also plagued by peafowl, squirrels, and gophers.

Any suggestions?
