Jessi H (Young Cultivators of Julie Hilton #7134) has received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Level Farmyard to Kitchen Merit Badge!
“Jessi is learning that chickens provide eggs and meat, pigs provide ribs and pork chops and ham and bacon! We name our animals with names like Bacon and Yummy...
She doesn't much like any kind of eggs right now but likes eggs from our chickens better than ones from store. We drink whole milk only now and we like meat from our pigs much more than from store. Jessi has been learning a lot from our animals as we slowly try new things.”

Jessi H (Young Cultivators of Julie Hilton #7134) has received a certificate of achievement in Out There Kids for earning an Intermediate Level Lean On Me Merit Badge!
“Jessi and her brother built several lean to's. One outside was made with a pile of limbs and wood. They built it against an old oak tree. It wasn't big enough for both of them at the same time. They built a couple inside with blankets, chairs, a couch, and a table which worked better for sharing but it was a little shaky.
The one which seemed to work best for their idea of getting in together and even inviting the dog was with pieces of wood against the side of a barn. Everyone could fit, but again it didn't last long. They are still working on this!”

Jessi H (Young Cultivators of Julie Hilton #7134) has received a certificate of achievement in Make It Easy for earning an Expert Level Music Merit Badge!
“Between August and December we attended a dance recital in Rogers, Arkansas from a university in Idaho; A musical play in Orem, Utah, which Jessi had only been seen on video previously; and a concert at University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Jessi loved the dance recital. She especially liked the jazz, storytelling, and 50's numbers. It was a revue which told a story through the whole show. She'd watched a video of the musical play many times and was excited to see it in person. It only plays in the west during November and December so we planned our vacation around it! She got to meet the author and main actor and also got a Christmas ornament and music box which plays one of the main songs. She plays it before bed most nights! The concert was a country band doing a Christmas show. She loved the music, especially their version of Little Drummer Boy. She got to meet the band after and enjoyed that also.”

“I have collected over 50 buttons for my button collection, for this badge. Some of these buttons came as extras with clothing, some I cut up from clothes that we had to get rid of, due to them being stained, torn, or too small, that we didn't like anymore. Some of them were also extras from mommy.
I'm quite excited to have begun my button collection.”

Tam Cunniff (Young Cultivator of Ann Marie Cunniff #5503) has received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Level Horse Dreams Merit Badge!
“In March 2017, we discovered a place called Mill Swamp Indian Horses, in Smithfield VA, owned by Steve Edwards. Mill Swamp is a livestock breed conservation program, dedicated to preserving and promoting Colonial Spanish Mustangs. These are some of the rarest and oldest horses in America. Colonial Spanish Mustangs are so close to extinction, that there is no proper term. They are past endangered. We decided to start coming out to the farm to care for the horses, and even train some horses and ride as well. We have become part of the community, and we now help promote these rare horses. The efforts of Steve Edwards and volunteers have kept strains of Colonial Spanish Mustangs from going extinct.
After coming to the farm for a little less than a year, we have grown to love Mill Swamp Indian Horses. The farm has become our second home, and we are proud to say that we go to a farm that preserves rare horses.”

“I drew pictures of our cows, we tried to look for cows in the neighborhood but we couldn't find any because it's too cold. We went to a neighbor's barn to look at his cows instead. My favourite part was drawing the cows.”

Lily-anne Hein (Young Cultivator of Joyce Hein #6071) has received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Level Farmyard to Kitchen Merit Badge!
“I know that chickens and turkeys produce eggs. Cows, goats and sheep produce milk. They have protein that is good for you. We eat yogurt, oatmeal, cheese, whipped cream and butter that come from cows. We eat boiled, fried and scrambled eggs and use them in baking. We have chickens and we eat their eggs all the time. I also tried goats milk for one week. I LOVED it.
Mommy bought goats so we can have more goat milk. We have our own chickens so we can have farm fresh organic eggs all the time. We have a cow, too, that gives milk. I ate chicken and turkey eggs. I drank raw cow and goats milk.”

“We have many types of chickens - my two favorites are Ameraucana and Columbia Rock. The Ameraucana's lay blue eggs and their chicks are black. The Columbia Rocks eggs are brown, chicks are yellow. They are white and black. My mom's favorite chicken is her Buff Orpington's. They are yellow chicks and brown eggs. They are light brown and big when they grow up. Our baby goats are white (Saanen) and they will be white when they grow up. They will give goat milk. Our cow is a jersey. She was light brown when she was a baby. But now she's black and brown. Her baby is light brown right now. It takes about a year before you can breed them, and two years before you milk them. I tried cow milk unpasteurized, goat milk, and sheep butter. Our chicken eggs are brown and blue. I tried them as well. I also tried white eggs from the store.
I prefer the unpasteurized cow milk over pasteurized from the store. I love goat milk. I like our eggs better than the store because they are orange/yellow yokes, not pale yellow like the store. They are yellow because they don't get to run around a lot. Ours do.”
