Let’s Go See Mother Wilkerson’s Farm “Gold Seal Award”

This book is created for the world of children and adults who are unfamiliar with the early 20^th century farming culture. It is designed as a teaching experience about Mother Lizzie Wilkerson’s life on her family farm. Also, this resource has the purpose of promoting self-reliance through enterprises as demonstrated daily a hundred years ago on a typical family farm. Such traditional values which required a spirit of commitment, active then, is missing today.

A vegetable garden was common, at that time, for personal use and commercial sales. Mother Wilkerson, as easily seen in her paintings, when a child, enjoyed traveling with her father to sell vegetables in the city of Covington, Georgia. Today, most families are no longer dependant on home grown vegetables. Fishing was also a regular practice with the Wilkerson family. Lifestyles have changed and families now lack interest. Both gardening and fishing are possible today for adventure, entertainment, and pleasure. However, such skills are rarely encouraged or taught to younger generations. The goal of this work seeks to encourage all of the above positive strengths. The five Adventures are:

1. Producers and Consumers Adventure
2. Your winning Future Adventure
3. Self-Expression Adventure
4. World travel Adventures and
5. Platinum Growth Adventure

It is also the purpose of this book to inspire young minds to focus on their potential to explore all the avenues of self-motivating entrepreneurship as an alternative to being a lifetime employee of the corporate culture. Schematic designs shall be given to show the parallels of the principles behind planting a successful family vegetable garden, owning a curbside lemonade stand and profits from other start-up possibilities of development.

Finally, it is expected upon completion, the reader will have a greater understanding of his or her own creative faculties. Also, each reader will have a greater appreciation of the 21st century modern conveniences: electricity, indoor plumbing, washing machines, and modern cooking; all taken for granted by children today. Human ingenuity is a testimony to our courage, invention, and creative nature.
