Educators

Welcome to HealthBarn USA!

Your students' learning experiences are a number-one priority. As nutrition educators, we realize that school resources are limited and your time is incredibly valuable. With unprecedented rates of overweight, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and eating disorders in children, we must educate young children about the importance of living a healthy-lifestyle that includes HealthBarn USA's FIVE healthy habits:  1) Eat fruits and vegetables 2) Exercise 3) Eat breakfast 4) Get a Good Night Sleep and 5) Family Meals!  

We also know that getting children excited about healthy behaviors and nutrition should be a top priority at schools today.  With new state-wide nutrition policies including the New Jersey Model Nutrition Policy in effect, educating about the importance of good nutrition is as important as providing healthier choices at school.

Fresh approach to teaching food, nutrition, health and agriculture to children ages 3-15 and their families. Our hands-on innovative curricula focus on some of the major contributors to one’s health: physical activity, nutrition behavior and self-esteem. The programs are an invaluable complement to science, math, social studes, food science and life skills curricula in schools.  

Healthy Lifestyle School Assembly.  Engage your student body in HealthBarn USA's one-of-kind, hands-on healthy-lifestyle experience that empowers children of all ages to try new foods, be active, participate in family meals and much more.  We are proud to collaborate with Whole Foods Market, Ridgewood, NJ and Cabot Creamery who are making the concept of trying new foods irresistible!  Click here for the Healthy-Lifestyle School Assembly flyer.   

School & Scout Field Trips.  In fun and educational year-round visits to the farm, children, ages 3-15, learn about the importance of fresh, seasonal produce and why eating naturally matters.  Their day involves gardening, partaking in making and tasting a delicious recipe, and learning to be a supermarket spy kid.  Children leave with a new-found appreciation for food -- and a healthy-lifestyle bag.  To learn more about our school programs, please click here!
