How did you come up with your Farm/Ranch/Homestead name?

I don't really have a 'farm' name. But my registered herd name with the AGS and ADGA is Yooper. Plus I call my blog the Mini Yooper Goats. A Yooper is a person who lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. So it makes sense that my goats are Yoopers too.

Our ranch is called Omega Ranch... as in omega is the last letter of the greek alphabet and this is the last place we will live. Not being morbid at all since both my hubby and I moved around a whole lot in our younger days and neither of us would be considered young anymore. I tell my dear man that "This is the living end!" It is nice finally burning all the moving boxes. It is quite amazing to see what strange things you have packed away three moves ago and finally have time to unpack. We are registered with ADGA as Omega Ranch.

I have a second name, Shunned Woman Farm, that I use for my knitting/sewing/ handcraft items. I think it has a cute story... my daughter and I are both Diet Doctor Pepper addicts and recently she introduced me to Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper. Yum! A short time after I discovered Coke Zero and especially Cherry Coke Zero and wrote her about it. She doesn't like Coke products and told me I was now a "shunned woman" for going over to the "enemy." Ok maybe it is just cute to me.

Both names are pretty neat.

There's a Cherry Coke Zero! :ep Haven't seen that around here. I do love the Cherry Diet Dr Pepper though. :drool I loved when they had the Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr Pepper. I hate they quit making it. :/

I like the Omega in the farm name. I'm a big fan of the Greek Alphabet. I used to know the whole thing now I just know parts of it. It's used alot in math, something I love. My favorite letter is Lambda but I also like Beta. The Greek Alphabet is similar in many ways to both our alphabet and the Hebrew Alphabet.

Our little 10 acres is Lava Ridge Farm... We have a lava ridge that runs through the middle of it... We were hoping that it would be 8-10 feet down like the neighbors but when we built the barn and the fence we discovered that our ridge is barely covered with dirt... :( We couldn't even dig the holes for some of the fence posts.. had to drill a hole with a jack hammer, insert a steel rod and pound the wood post down on top of the rod.. Not sure what we will do when we build the house since I am not sure we can have a basement without blasting...
