Is it a farm if you mainly grow kids and locust trees?

Help me name my little farm business!
I live on nine acres and am in the process of constructing a hoophouse and planting perennial herbs and fruit. I'd like to try my hand at selling culinary herbs and dried herbs online, cut flowers and fruit at our local farmers market.
I've done a ton of research and have experience running a business, but I keep getting stuck on the name. I've been referring to this enterprise as "The Farmlet" in my notes and maps, but that name/domain is taken.
So... Nine acres on a boggy hill, no animals, bordered by a highway and a railroad. You guys are aces at naming, please help!

Boggy Hill Homestead
Living Acres Estate
9 Acre Farm
Aura Gardens (The Greek Goddess Aura was the personification of a breeze)
or you could go with the Greek Goddess of plants, Hegemone. Hegemone Herbs!

You could go for an "olde worlde" feel with something like:
Carr Howe Farm
Moss Brow Farm
Barrow Fen Farm
Wose Knoll Farm
Each of which is a rough variation on "boggy hill".
Or how about:
Wort Garth, "herb or plant garden"
Leighton, a Middle English name for a "kitchen garden"

Maybe you could find inspiration by listening to Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill.

Response by poster: From this list I came up with "Train Song Farm" (the train is louder than the highway when it rumbles by - it's a feature!). Partner doesn't like that and suggested if we were trying to call it like we see it, that we name it "Poky Highway Farm".
So I registered the domain for Train Song and it's the lead contender unless he comes up with a tiebreaker. Thank you for the inspiration!
