The History of Our Farm and Its Name . . .

The original Patchwork Farm was built in 1985, using recycled lumber from a torn down greenhouse. Janet, fresh out of college and with a very practical college degree in History, lived on site, in a newly constructed log home.

We thought “Patchwork Farm” was the perfect name for our fledgling business. Several moves and many years later (2003), the Sherrill family built a beautiful new home for the program. We considered changing the name of Patchwork Farm to more accurately reflect our new sophisticated image. “Market Research” (we kicked the idea around with our clients and friends in the horse business) indicated a strong loyalty toward our original name: Patchwork Farm was here to stay!
