The Gist of Things

This blog is about my Girl Scout Gold Award project called "EGG-citing Organics". It is a project that incorporates biology and nutrition. It all started last year when I started working on a farm in my town called The Farm at Oyster Bay in Oyster Bay Cove, New York. This farm raises crops and donates them to food pantries. The farm is organic and I really learned a lot from it as well as loved the whole idea of organics. I had never really learned much about it before this opportunity and I really found it fascinating. This opportunity on the farm made me want to show other people what organic foods are really all about. So for this reason I started my basis of the project on organics. 

The reason why I called my project "EGG-citing Organics" is because I am going to hatch and raise chickens to bring to this farm that I volunteer on. The chickens will be able to give eggs as well as help the crops obtain nutrients by creating an organic manure (chicken poop). I am going to be sharing my knowledge with girl scout troops and other interested people. I will use this blog as another outside source for people to see my project grow and develop with time. I will be posting picture, videos, and anything else I get my hands on to show my project in an EGG-traordinary way.
