The farm got its name when husband and wife, Steve Reid and Judith Irving and their two daughters noticed a significant population of well-fed toads hanging out in their gardens, barns and orchard. Toads are very sensitive to their environment – they are known as an indicator species and would be the first to flee unhealthy soil or water.
