Is it a ranch or a farm? This is an ongoing discussion. I say the “farm” and some say “ranch’.

 

Ranch as defined by Webster — A ranch refers to a specific type of farm that focuses on raising and herding hoven animals, typically cattle or sheep. Ranchers spend most of their time riding around (by horse or ATV) tending to their livestock. There might be a small farm or garden on the property, but it is not the primary focus.

Farm as defined by Webster — A tract of land, usually with a house, barn, silo, etc., on which crops and sometimes livestock are raised.

We are not raising or herding any livestock at this time. We do have gardens, a house, a lake, barn, etc.

Thus I still say farm. Some (Jeff) say “ranch”, and why you might ask, well because the sign says —

Lazy H Ranch. And now that we live here full-time the H is not too LAZY.
