Thanks for a very interesting video. I am too long in the tooth to do any of this, but I enjoy seeing the process that you youngsters go through to get things going and set things up. What you said makes perfect sense, so please carry on doing what your doing and allowing an old 'un a chance of dreaming what might have been. Thanks again for posting.

@@theShepherdess I am only doing what I did for my kids, encourage thoughtfulness, get them to stand up tall even when they doubt their own selves and assist in any way that I can with their dreams. That's what any Dad does no more no less. Its something I think should be taught at school as its far easer to help someone than beat them down. A saying in my country is what goes around comes around and so remember you reap what you sow.

I've chosen two names Dunn Nursery which uses my last name and coincidentally the crossroad of my location. My other LLC which will start chickens and pigs this spring is Tranquil State Farm. I wish I would have put a comma between State and Farm. Tranquil State Farm sounds soo much like a bank but neither my wife or I are very creative and this was our best.

I love love love the double-reference in Dunn Farms and if it's any encouragement to youn I did NOT think of "State Farm" when I read the second name. I actually got focused on the term "tranquil state" and asked myself, "Does he live in a state with the motto 'Tranquil State', kinda like Colorado is called 'Colorful Colorado' or California is 'The Sunshine State'? Oh wait, I don't think there's any state called 'The Tranquil State', but maybe they meant 'a state of tranquility'. Maybe they hope to make their U.S. State a more tranquil place, too. A double meaning! Clever! So I think it's a great name, too. It's a name that makes the reader have to puzzle for a split second, then realize the double meaning. And that's great marketing!

For a serious farm-as-business approach people should consider seeking counsel from a trademark attorney and getting research done in their jurisdiction. Family names, geographical locations and generic descriptors don't make good trademarks. Your goal is to be distinctive and unlikely to confuse with an existing producer of your goods and/or services. People are used to seeing stylized letters or logos of successful companies that break these 'rules' to get registrations but take most of their examples from famous brands (FORD, etc.) and don't realize that they've reduced the value of their brand with a poor initial choice. Without an advertising budget to help your weak brand acquire distinctiveness through use you're better off starting with a strong trademark. (2 cents from a retired Intellectual Property paralegal)

The property we live on and will start our farm on in a couple months with twenty sheep is a former 9 hole golf course. How it was ever successful with as hilly and bumpy as it is, idk, but we are going to change the name just a bit by removing ‘golf course’ from the end and replace it with either ‘sheep farm’ or just ‘farm’.

Take lessons from fruit-growers and shepherds, goatherds, and cowherds in the Alps. Also rice-growers in Japan. I can also think of some very successful farms in Ireland. All super hilly. Other farmers have learned to use the hilliness to their advantage and none phenomenally well. For one thing it's almost like a built in drainage system, so every hill can have well-drained soil. For another thing, all the low spots can be your "wells".

@@theShepherdess I did an internet search for Eason farms just now. I hadn't thought to do that before. There aren't many out there that share the name and it seems my KZfaq video are the only ones posted from an Eason farms. Should be decent enough I guess, nothing worse than being one of 1000 shared names, 😆.

My brand name is Ricky's You can find me on face book and we just started a web sight. I have a lot of argument with people because I do not call my self a farm although we are, I do not call my self a commercial processor although we do a lot of processing. I do not call my self an instructor although we host many classes. When I started all of this 4 years ago I took the stance that if you label me you negate me. I follow know ones rules. I belive in ethics not rules. I belive in following know ones path, I make my own and leave a wide trail. And it worked.
