Grease Chicks (part 1)
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
I’m pretty excited about my new badge earnings today, girls. By the time I’m done, I will officially be a grease chick. That’s right, I’m breaking into boy territory here: cars. Up until now, all I knew about cars was how to look good driving one. (If there’s a merit badge for that, I’ll look like an over-achieving Girl Scout.) But no, today is not about driving my convertible; it’s about getting down and dirty with it.

“Out There” Merit Badge: with recipe for Half-Cup Pemmican
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
To earn my intermediate level “Out There” badge, I first picked out items for my survival pack, then I cooked a full meal over just a campfire. Click here for two delicious hobo dinner ideas you can cook up with family and friends. To complete my intermediate badge I either needed to make my own trail mix and/or pemmican using this recipe …

I love this recipe. It’s a staple of my field lunches. I’ve adapted it to be dairy and wheat-free (using rolled oats and almond meal), and grind it all up in the food processor. I also dry my own fruits (pears, apples, cherries, strawberries, blueberries) to mix in. Yum!
There’s a slab of pemmican in my pack right now, and I’m off to be a forest ranger on skis today…

Today’s Visitors to the Farm
A local Young Cultivators group came to the farm today to earn their “Know Your Food” badge. Our Maizy didn’t flinch even once as they all took turns milking her and learning where milk comes from.

Those little farmgirls are just the cutest! How awesome is it that they got to milk Maizy! You can just see the joy in their smiles, and I can just hear them giggling!

How can I find out more about the local Young Cultivators group. We live in Moscow and that sounds like something we might like to have our children involved in. Thank you in advance and please feel free to pass along my contact info to the group coordinator.

I’ll take one of everything in this photo….adorableness!!!!! I have an old table-top cast-iron sewing machine, similar to this one. It’s a Montgomery WArds machine, one of the very first electrical ones, even though it looks like the old treadle machines. It was my grandmother’s and had three stitiches…forwards, backwards and zig-zag 😉 🙂 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 😉
My first time reading the post on your web site, but I am planning to enjoy the love of my life, farming. This is such a remarkable magazine. I grew up on a farm in the south. It is just a marvelous place of peace, solitude and yes…romance in the deepest sense. I just wanted to say hello to all the farm girls everywhere.
Lovely comment. Thank you.
I would like to have a secret sister. I cannot figure put where I need to go
Thank you Margie valdez

Hi Carolyn! The article on SCOBYs was sent in by one of our readers, and I’m afraid I don’t have any more details than what’s in the magazine. I would suggest following her instructions carefully. Good luck!
