Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the EnvironmentWolfe's Neck Farm – Per WP:COMMONNAME, "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)..." Wolfe's Neck Farm is by far the most common name. A google search of the term reveals over 25,000 hits whereas a search of the current name reveals only 6,000, despite the name being officially changed 2.5 years ago.

"If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match."

Wolfe's Neck Farm is still in common usage, as well as being the most common name by a 4 to 1 margin. See: One. Two. Three. Four.--User:Namiba 15:23, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Your second and final links call it by the new name. - Seasider53 (talk) 17:35, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
They call it by both names. The point is that both names are used but the name I've proposed is far more common, especially over the organization's 61 year history.--User:Namiba 17:49, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
And they’ll continue to call it by both names if it’s given the wrong name here. It’s isn’t just a farm any more, which is why they changed their name. - Seasider53 (talk) 18:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
It's not the wrong name by our article title policy. This is not the place to fix English usage. Andrewa (talk) 17:35, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Forgot to mention: that second reference says “Wolfe's Neck Farm-to-Table series”, so you must have just glanced at it and saw the farm part. - Seasider53 (talk) 22:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
