Linda, mine is an Instapot Duo, the 6 qt size. Besides pressure cooking and slow cooking, it also makes delicious yogurt. I’ve tried making it other ways but this has been the easiest by far.

We have had the 3 quart InstantPot for several years. It's great and a good size for the two of us. Last year DH decided we just had to have the big one with the air fryer. Haven't used it yet -- You know men and their gadgets, they just have to have them.
Pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker/crockpot, yogurt maker, sauté function. It's a good appliance to get if you want to clear several small appliances out of your kitchen. You can even make popcorn in it.

I will check out the Instapots. I use my rice cooker and crockpot a lot, especially in the cooler weather. Thanks for the info.

Doesn't the Junior farm girl group have their own merit badges? There are a lot of the beginner badges she can work on.

I am probably wrong. I thought there was or used to be one.

WOO HOO! I really thought I was correct. There is a program - it is called Young Cultivators and is for girls and boys ages 6-13.
Here is the link.
http://www.farmgirlsisterhood.org/young_cultivators.asp
There is a list of specific merit badges for the Young Cultivators and other information on this page.

And under the Farmgirl Sisterhood heading is another topic:
Young Cultivator Awardees
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=47
Here MJ or her designee mention and show all the merit badges turned in and earned by Young Cultivators.

I hope this information is useful. I am sure there are many farm girls who do NOT know about this program.

Denise -

You are so welcome. I'm glad I could help you, and maybe others in our henhouse; it sounds like a great program for our kids and grandkids. I don't know how I originally found it, and that was years ago.

Denise, have fun with your grand kids doing various jobs and belonging to the Young Cultivators. It sounds like a lot of fun and summertime will be a great time to start after the school is done for this year.

Yes. I will be strategizing with my daughter to find out which ones she would like them to do.
