What's in a name?

We have had a few people ask us about the name we chose for the farm. What does it mean?

The Phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Arabians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, Indian and Phoenicians. It is a colorful bird said to live 500 to 1000 years. When ready for the next life a Phoenix is said to build to a nest of twigs and burst into flames, a young Phoenix will emerge from the ashes. A Phoenix symbolizes rebirth, immortal life, starting over, rising again, and more.

We feel that our lives together have been a rebirth. That we started again from the ashes of our lives. We have been through a lot in our lives and we hope this farm is the start of our new lives together. A new road to travel. New ideas to explore. There is so much to learn together.

So Rising Phoenix Farm was born. Out of family love to support and nurture each other. May this land prosper as our family love does and will.
