I need your help in picking a name for our new operation.  I need to get an LLC, tax ID, web page, etc. and the name will be very important for many reasons.  I need something that is easy to remember, isn’t confused with someone else, makes you interested, is short enough to put on a logo, and describes the operation in a nut shell.  So, here’s our products: crafts (brooms and woodworking), rabbit meat, plants and vegetables, but mostly fruit such as blueberries and blackberries (and eventually a U-pick farm) as well as finished products like baked goods.  So, here are some things I’ve come up with but I’m hoping you have something better.  Let’s assume my last name is Fox (which it is not but let’s pretend) so Fox Farms, Fox Hills farm (we live in the hill country), Fox Orchard and farms, Miss Kay’s Orchard and crafts, Fox Village orchard and crafts (our farm has Victorian shotgun workshops in a row like a little Victorian village), Miss Kay’s Heritage farm, etc.  OK, help me out here folks!

I like Miss Kay’s Heritage Farm because it says everything from craft, U-Pick, and farm products.

Another suggestion would be the Happy Fox Farm though that might not work if your last name is not an animal.

Here are some threads that might help you pick a name:

I am looking forward to seeing other folks suggestions.

I like it too. And if you want to put it on a logo, etc, you could just have "Miss Kay's".

You guys are a genius!  I can make the web site Miss Kay's Heritage Farms and then each page different depending on the product such as Kay's berries, Kay's brooms, etc.  I can do a big sign out front of the berries saying Miss Kay's U-pick berry farm, One in front of the buildings saying saying Miss Kay's village, etc.  This way I can add any product in the future I want and it should fit.  If it is a craft, it will fall under the heritage part.  If it is grown, it will fall under the farm part.  Thanks.  I think this just might work.

I think you can do better.
Heritage farm sounds like a place that demonstrates old machinery.
A name that connects brooms, wood, vegetable, berries, rabbit meat and baked goods is required.
In Australia a word is being used  at trendy shops / cafes - Provedore
"Noun. provedore (plural provedores) A person or business which provides supplies, particularly food and beverages."

Stillwater River Produce and Handcraft store - supplying brooms, fresh and baked goods is my suggestion.

A shotgun house is a narrow rectangular domestic residence, usually no more than about 12 feet (3.5 m) wide, with rooms arranged one behind the other and doors at each end of the house. It was the most popular style of house in the Southern United States from the end of the American Civil War (1861–65) through the 1920

That is indeed a shotgun house.  If you google new orleans shot gun houses you'll see just how beautiful and colorful they can be and I love the victorian ones.
