Where does the Name Come From?
Where does the Name Come From?
Many people ask where the name 8T Acres came from and what the inspiration for the name was for me.
A brief story involves the lot design of 80.6 acres. The property was purchased by my great grandfather and great grandmother in 1958 for a total sum of $3000 with 6% interest!! Their names were Leonard and Anna Toben. Anna was a bit of an artist and designed the logo with the T standing for the Toben name. Coincidentally it fit with the fact that the property has Eigh(ty) Acres.
So in memory of where I came from and what the land means to me I decided to name my farm 8T Acres Equestrian Center. You can still see the rock that is dated 1958 and the Toben stone on the property.
