The Name Game
Well, it’s been an eventful fall/winter here at the farm. This is due in part to the arrival of our little guy pictured with his Mama.Asa William Coleman born 10/28/2008 12:20pm. 8 pounds 4 ounces.
- We’ll be attending/selling from at least 2 garlic festivals this autumn.
- Look for a site redesign for online garlic sales.
- The farm stand is getting a much needed makeover this summer. Goodbye homasote.
- We’re looking for a new name….more on that below.
So onto the new name. When we took over farming at the property, it only made sense to use the farm name as it was. Most folks knew it as that. Now that we’re reaching what is a natural break in our farming activities (and a change of venues with the garlic fests), it makes sense for us to revisit the name. Kathleen is a Rutkowski, but no longer has the name. I, despite thoughts of changing my last name, am not a Rutkowski. I also tend to shy away from name titled things. The only thing we’ve come up with thus far that we like is “Starry Plough Acres”. This name would have a loaded connotation across the pond. That said, this is America, so maybe not so much. Anyhow I’ve said enough. If you have any suggestions for a farm name, let us know!






My favorite local farm is Siena Farm — named after the farmers’ daughter. “The Asa Farm” sounds very farmerlike and signifies a new generation of family farmers…
Oh … and I’ll be VERY interested in your garlic once you have the online sale site up!
