The Name Game

We are trying to get as many minds together to help us come up with the best name for our business. If you have a few minutes and want to help us out, grab a paper and pencil and follow along.
(Leave about a minute for each step)
Step 1: Write down everything that comes to mind when you hear the word FARM.
Step 2: Write down everything that comes to mind when you hear the word ORGANIC.
Step 3: Write down everything that comes to mind when you hear NATURAL MEAT.
Step 4: Write down many creative names for our farm business.
CONSIDER: Don't use the word ORGANIC for legally we cannot use it. Our business will mainly sell 100% grassfed beef (called salad bar beef), pastured poultry, free-range eggs and possibly pork. We may also form a cornmaze or an educational program for schools to visit and learn about eating healthy. We hope to one day have an on-farm store but for now will sell by word of mouth and farmers markets. The farm will be a 100 years owned by the First Family but will be operated by the Derby family. Ok, now get writing!
Step 5: Go through your list of names and select your top 5 favorites and list them on my wall. Thanks for participating!

The House was built in 1913-1914

We are purchasing my grandparents stone farmhouse and remodeling it. Our families
have been a great help in tearing down. We are all excited to see the story
God will write for us here as we begin this adventure.

We have moved!!!
