The gingko leaf is the logo of the farm because of the beautiful old gingko tree that greets visitors to the property. As Joe Bains writes, "According to Todd Farnham, the gingko tree in the front yard of the farmhouse was planted in the 1880s. The tree was a gift to Sarah from a ship’s captain who was a friend of the Farnhams. He had traveled all over the world in large sailing ships and returned from one of those voyages with some gingko seeds. These he planted in pots and gave as seedlings to special friends and relatives, including Sarah Farnham."
