What's In A Name ?

Every farm needs a name.

A defining name ... a describing name ...

something perfect.

Would it be about the setting, or the function,

the scenery, or the location ?

After multiple "ideas", our farm name was chosen.

Two By Two Farm

Why Two by Two, you ask ?

The name, Two By Two Farm, was chosen because God told Noah to expect two of every kind of creature, to be taken into the ark and preserved through the flood.  Our farm is not the "typical" farm ... it's a hobby farm of sorts, a collection, and it is our plan to provide a good home to our "furry" friends while enjoying "farm life".

The name Two By Two Farm also was a prefect fit because nearly every creature we've ever added to our family through the years ... getting A horse ... having A dog ... came to us with a friend.  Yes, every animal has come with a friend ... our first horse Estrella was a rescue and was pregnant when we saved her (Sunny was her baby) ... and then after Daisy (our 17yo Golden Retriever) passed away in 2009, Bella (our Great Pyrenees) was alone and very sad, so we got a dog friend (Maggie, our other Great Pyrenees) for Bella ... and after Estrella was accepted into a rescue program, we looked for A horse ... and bought Smokie & Cinnamon (then Smokie passed away in June 2010) ... then after losing Smokie, we looked for A new horse, and bought Applejack & her friend Button.

See the theme ?  Yep - a collection of animals, and of course, every creature comes with a friend.

(Our vet has jokingly recommends that we not attend a livestock or horse auction, as he says sometimes friends come in groups of more than two from those events.  He's so funny !)
