Logo Wanted: Seed Company Seeks Sprouting Ideas for Logos

Alta Loma Seed Company

I am a owner of a start up seed company. This is my second career. I am also a Deputy. My children are very much involved with the company. I blend basic and custom mixes for pet and wild birds. I provide basic ingredients for homeopathic remedies. I sell on eBay and out of a small shop that I share with a Feed Store. I live in Alta Loma, California and I am very proud of our community. Its like Mom and Pop vs. Petsmart and Walmart

Pet owners, bird breeders, nature lovers, bird watchers and feeders, health nuts.

Compare our company to; Kaytee, Volkman, Goldenfeast, Harrison's, Roudybush, Zupreem

I would like something bold, maybe humorous, maybe old western, maybe incorporate the Spanish meaning of Alta Loma. Birds, Nature, Farm themed. I don't care for the colors red or orange.
Patriotic?
These rules also apply to me.
1. No Cartoons - we want it to be playful but not cheap or childlike
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy. We want the locals to feel like they can afford to eat here a couple times a week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
