640.0. "name that farm" by VOLGA::PORTER () Sat Jul 02 1988 11:28

    As many of you have read we have recently purchased a new farm.
    
    That was the easy part...Our next hurdle is to name it.  So if
    there are any creative people out there who have any good ideas
    I would appreciate your thoughts.
    Description: 200 year old home, large hay fields, large hill
    with a view of Mt. Manadnock and Watchusett, the farm is the
    only house on the road, at the end of a dead end, small pond,
    lots of pine and evergreen trees.  Our intention is to open
    a large boarding and training facility.  We do not specialize
    in any specific breed of horse.
    
    So far I have received two ideas.
    1. Go-Way farm 
    2. Mare-Z-d'Oats farm
    
    So if anyone has a good idea please reply.

    How about something obvious like Mountain View, or Twin Mountain?

640.2Journey's EndSCOMAN::STOOKERTue Jul 05 1988 10:034
    If I was ever able to buy a home with some land, I think I would
    call it "Journey's End"   This would be perfect if you have been
    looking for a suitable place for a while.
    
640.3Names For Your FarmSALEM::DOUGLASTue Jul 05 1988 10:227

    Pinecrest Farm
    Mountain Valley Acres
    
640.4A ThoughtGENRAL::BOURBEAUTue Jul 05 1988 10:276
    	Based on the amount of work that this will require how about
    
    		"NEVR-DUN" Farm
    
    
    
640.5WHERE ARE YOU?EMASA2::NICKERSONMon Jul 11 1988 10:193

    close to us in Sterling.
    
640.6More on Farm namesSEDJAR::NANCYMon Jul 11 1988 16:1526
    
    The first one I thought of has been suggested......."Mountain View" 
    Another idea describing the view: "Pleasant View"
    Because your farm is at the end of the road: "End-of-the-Trail" Stables
    Describe your farm services: "Care-N-Train" Farm  
    or "Care-N- Stables (your name)
    
    		Paradise Hill Stables
    		Sunny Meadow Farm		
    		Pine Haven Farm
    		Charming Hill Acres        
    	        Mountain Meadow Farm
    		Hillcrest Farm/Stables
    		Country Pride Farm/Stables
    		
    Do you have a favorite flower? "Wisteria" Farm  
    
    Some farms use an animal in their names i.e.
    		Deermeadow Farm
    		Fox Hill Stables
    		Eagle Ridge Farm
                
    Are you going to train show horses?...Top Contender Farm
    		                                     
    		Let us know what you decide, Nancy

640.8ANother name?MARX::FOXA momentary lapse of reason... PFWed Jul 13 1988 13:097
    If you're doing your own haying (especially with those large kay
    fields), how 'bout Hay Day or Hayday Farm (as in, it's in its heyday
    (sp?))
    
    Best of luck and we're all anxious to find out what you name your
    place; it sounds *beautiful*!
    
640.9thank youTWEED::PORTERThu Jul 14 1988 08:557
    We will be moving to the new farm September 1.  The new name will
    be chosen prior to that date in time to have a sign made up.  So
    far the suggestions are great, it will be a difficult decision to
    pick one.  I will post it in notes.  Any additional ideas please
    post them here.

640.10Go-Way FarmWMOIS::PORTERThu Sep 29 1988 11:1240
    I want to thank everyone for their great ideas on farm names.
    It has been a very difficult decision but we have finially come
    to a decision, the picture is painted and the sign is hanging
    in front of the house.
    
    Go-Way Farm ( the picture is the back view of a horse with the
    head of the horse looking around toward the back.
    
    Due to the very private location and our love of solitude it
    seemed the most fitting.
    
    Now that we are basically moved in and settled and the horses seem
    to have worked into a routine life is pretty much back to normal.
    I hope when any of you are traveling through our area you will feel
    free to stop by and say "Hi".  We are located in Winchendon MA on
    the New Hampshire boarder.  Rt 140 to Winchendon, left onto rt.
    12 north, follow this a couple of miles until you come to Central
    St. (it is on your right at the top of a hill and it is the main 
    Street in town) follow Central st. past all the stores and bear
    left at the fork, procede by the fire station up a hill and bear
    right at the fork onto Elmwood RD.  Go past Murdock Dairy Farm (on
    the left) take your first left onto Forrestall Rd. and your first
    right onto Crosby Rd.  We are the only house on the road.
