How did you come up with your farm/ranch name?

Well, I have no idea. I will have to ask about that.

What type of pods do they get?

A black locust has small pods with tiny black seeds inside.

The honey locust gets longer pods that are a deep maroon color and inside (around October here) have a green honey tasting jell in them. The jell is edible to humans and the whole pod is edible to livestock. It's actually a very good fodder for animals and you can grow more tons of it in an acre than you can corn.

We have one rather old Honey Locust here. I just love it. They also have some massive thorns on them.

ours have thorns, do they both have thorns? Not sure about the pods, but I will try to ask my DH. Sounds interesting.

Yeah they both have thorns. The black locust thorns are minor but the honey locust are massive. Honey locust thorns can actually be used as nails.

"Four Winds Ranch"
I chose this name because there is a superstition where, " if you address, or present something to all four of the directions with respect, it will bringblessings and or good luck"! The winds are the directions bringing the power of good luck and blessings!

There's no blessing with that wind from Alberta to Ontario in the grips of winter
