Congratulations to Rhet Ketchum of Downing, Missouri, whose love for food and hands-on learning earned him top honors in 4-H and the Missouri State Fair!
Rhet milled Soft White Wheat using Royal Lee Organics equipment for his 4-H flour milling project, winning a blue ribbon at the Scotland County Fair and then Best in Show at the 2023 Missouri State Fair! 🏆✨
He didn’t stop there. Rhet also baked a delicious Pineapple Zucchini Bread using our Royal Lee Organics recipe and earned another blue ribbon at the county fair. 🍍🥒🍞
Out of more than 3,500 projects statewide, Rhet’s poster, milled flour, and bread were chosen as one of only four entries to represent the “Healthy Living” project area in the 4-H Building in Sedalia.
We’re incredibly proud to see young makers like Rhet milling fresh, nutritious flour and discovering the joy of real food. Keep shining, Rhet! 🌟
