I looked over the list of badges but I didn't see one about making cheese. I believe this would be a good badge, mostly because I love cheese. I have several local farms that teach cheese making near me and there are some places to buy supplies in the next city.

Hi FarmDream,
Thanks for the suggestion, the expert level of Backyard Farmer is about making cheese and butter, but that's not to say we couldn't expand some how.
Backyard Farmer
Expert Level
Stop buying mainstream non-organic grocery store meats. Buy from a local meat locker or straight from a farmer or rancher. If you raise your own meats, write a letter to the editor explaining the benefits of knowing where your meat comes from.
Learn to make your own cheese or butter.
Enter your animals in a county fair or take artistic photos of farm animals and turn them into greeting cards.
