MaryJanesFarm Products Magazine Books Chat About Us

Welcome to Farmgirl University

Farmgirl “U” is for you—the gal who still giggles with her girlfriends, craves vine-ripened tomatoes, homemade jams, and healthier living in general. (Let’s not forget simple pleasures in particular.) And you were born with enough curiosity that continuing to learn is a must.

In can-do, will-do “I can do this!” fashion, we are slowly offering how-to videos that match our written merit badge requirements. So take heart, visual learners, we heard you loud and clear! But be patient, our list of videos-yet-to-be-completed tells us we have a year’s worth to shoot. Stay tuned! We’re hard at it.
 
P.S. Farmgirl Merit Badge requirements are the same as those for our darling Farmerettes (farmgirls-in-training between the ages 14–18). Young Cultivators (precious girls and boys between the ages 6–13) have their own merit badge requirements as listed below in the pull-down bar. 
 
P.P.S. Don't be shy! If you have a video camera, don't hesitate to put yourself, a Farmerette, or a Young Cultivator in front of it describing how a particular badge was earned. They can be sent to us on a DVD as a .mpeg file for inclusion here (upon approval). Send them to: MaryJanesFarm/Merit Badge Video, 1000 Wild Iris Lane, Moscow, ID 83843. Include your email address and the badge earned so we can let you know when it will go live. (You still need to apply online for approval of badges but don't hesitate to shoot videos of ANY badges you've earned in the past. And sorry but we can't return the DVDs we receive.) Think Farmgirl U Tube and get those cameras rolling!
