My Garden Consider please how your customers would love to claim great produce came from My Garden; on repeat sales you could begin gentle teaching if so inclined. Yours could become THE official garden of good because those who tried would be convinced.

Looking for a new CSA name
Looking for a new name for my CSA, that is. Guess I'm looking for a PORTABLE name, also. Not because, yes it's true, like Jane I won't keep my mouth shut when I see standards being lowered for the sake of the masses, but because I'm waitin in line for a better farm site next year. Besides, if I took a local name this year, 'Lost Corner CSA' would be the best choice and, well, it don't have te ring... Anyway, what say? It's got to appeal to DC professionals and metro families with my marketing, my friends, so I can't be too esoteric! I'm thinking 'Fresh and Local CSA,' but it sounds a lot like SUPER FRESH, an area grocery chain. I'd like to think of 'Authentic Food CSA,' but I don't think it speaks without explanation. What about you? Do you have a good CSA name that you've dreamed of using and wouldn't mind sharing with a WV farmer? Thanks _Allan

Re: Looking for a new CSA name
I happen to be a lucky an EXPERT at naming things. F'rinstance, there is an organic gourmet mushroom farm in Ohio that I named SHITAKE HAPPENS! I still think business names are best if they comes from within the creator. It will mean more to you. Names are incredibly powerful and become a touchstone for your inspiration and daily devotion. Naming is easy. Many of us could give you one, but that would be depriving you of the joy. The one I had for you derived both from the fact that you are NOT making Fast Food and the name Slow Food movement is already trademarked, so I thought you could take the name THE HALF FAST CSA. Does that work? But, seriously, I would stay away from words like authentic or real as they become meaningless in inflated advertising hype just like organic or natural have become. Plus, they sound so pompous and preachy. Why use a name that puts others down? I would go with words that have a deep meaning to you and yet have a clever ring to them. Personally I have always liked Stella Natura (also taken, but there are so many more). Remember that words like dirt, soil, plant, manure and so on sound SO much better in Latin, French, Spanish, German, Japanese or Italian. When I go on a Quest for a name, I run all media and conversations I contact through the Name Filter. I become obsessed with the process. As you read your Biodynamic books, your sustainable ag books, your foodsoilweb books, with this filter you will discover a list of potentials. Sleeping and dreaming on the list will bring the cream to the top. Let the name flow from within you. This is the organic process. Make it beautiful. Make it magic. Will Winter

Will, I've been through all of this the past two week, and, yea, verily, the past three months and nothing is really snaping up. Now the deadline is here, the flyers must go out, the lease must be signed, etc. That's why I'm throwing it out to the family. Come on, man, give it a name and you'll be the godfather!!! (But it can't be Hardy-har-har CSA) Folks: I wouldn't ask if I didn't need help. I appreciate the suggestions that have been made. elementalfood.com is taken (check it out, it's intrigueing.

Re: Looking for a new CSA name
Again - I'm reaching out, looking for the person who has been holding onto 'the name they would give their CSA if they ever get around to starting one.' I bet there are a lot of good names being treasured that way. Oh, man, SECRETIONS of the SOIL Damn, COMPOST TEA and CARROTS Anyway, I'm still stuck...
Re: Looking for a new CSA name
Authentic Food, I think...with whatever organization name you wish...or none at all. CSA takes a lot of convoluted explaining. The big guys [e.g., Whole Foods, Walnut Acres, Eden Foods, Wild Oats] don't necessarily say they are health food stores or food purveyors. You have to do the explaining at some point, but shouldn't have to do it right up front in the next breath after saying the name.

Re: Looking for a new CSA name
Thanks for the 'leg' work, Perry. I want to avoid hyphens and such. Looking for a name that can just be pounded in and it will work. -Allan
Re: Looking for a new CSA name
Hi! Allan, How about The Fast Supper? Totally meaningless, but close enough to something well known, to make people think, regardless of their intentions. Every time they mentally check to see it is that, with which it rhymes, it reinforces your business and could potentially be good cheap advertising. I note that www.thefastsupper.com is not in use. Your graphic could depict RS standing at the road side stall, it loaded with ready to eat produce and his self flanked by a dozen who have taken his ideas and set out to spread them across the world in a popular movement... If I was handling the promotion, I would pick pick some gullible cleric and send the media with a copy of the graphic to ask him it it was true he objected to your use of the image... [I would have a cartoonist do the graphic, using the composition and putting the figures in the same positions.] Gil Robertson THE ALL SHOP Allan Balliett wrote: Again - I'm reaching out,

What about something with connections, like Food Connections, because a CSA is about connecting or re-connecting the consumer with the people and places where the food comes from and vice versa connecting the farmer with the consumers in his local community. Christiane
