As I was putting up some produce from my CSA today, my mind started thinking of a new merit badge. I didn't see this anywhere else - what do you think?

Put some up for the winter.

Can some of your CSA or other veggies/fruit for the winter.

Sounds like a good merit badge. I think you should send it to Mary Jane an ask about it.

Chelsea, yes I went back and looked at the self sufficiency and was mildly embarrased to not have noticed it before  . Glad you like some of the elements and hope you will use them. Hope all is well in your new position.

what about utilizing wood heat for heating your home/cooking? Maybe have a badge where you learn about the different types of wood, wood indigenous to your area, cut and season your own wood, cook for friends on the woodstove...

Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.
