Located on the bank of the Concho River east of San Angelo, the farm has 45 acres of Coastal Bermuda hay, and 25 acres of natural pasture. We enjoy a variety of wildlife including deer, turkeys, quail, and abundant migratory birds. The farm name comes from one of the many artifacts we have found as we've cleared the land for the house, barns and fences. Our location is on a bluff above the river with a natural staircase descending to the river's edge. It must have been a favorite site for centuries, based on the numerous stone implements we have run across as we've explored the area. We enjoy a beautiful view of the Concho valley and the rugged bluffs to the north.
So how did we come up with the name for our farm? One day Bill was out working on fence (a constant job, sort of like doing laundry), he found a wedge shaped stone that had obviously been shaped by chipping the edges off to form a rudimentary tool. The stone appeared to be some kind of axe or chopping tool. It was one of the first of many such artifacts we have come across as we've built our home and outbuildings.

Here is a photo of our farm taken looking from north to south. The bottom of the photo shows the field across the river, then you can make out the water in the Concho River, the dark trees lining the cliff, and the edge of the property. The farm runs from the highway at the top of the photo (south) down to the river (north). Our house sits to the right of the end of the driveway. The green roof makes it a little hard to pick out unless you know it's there.
