School Programs

HealthBarn USA is On-The-Go!

We are dedicated to educating as many children as possible about living a healthy-lifestyle with our fun, interactive approach -- always involving fresh, delicious food!  It is different from any other nutrition educational experience available and worth the investment because children are choosing healthier foods at home...  "Dear HealthBarn USA, thank you for coming to my school because you changed my life. Now all I want to do is eat healthy foods.  And, hopefully you can change other kids lives' like you changed mine.  I used to be tired all the time and I did not want to go outside. After the assembly, all I want to do is play, play, play!  So go out there to other countries and states and change those kids' lives."  Your friend, N. Priscilla, Garfield, NJ.

We have covered a lot of Bergen County, NJ and are now expanding throughout NJ and have gone national by traveling to Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California.  Who knew we would be off the farm so quickly, but wherever you are... we can be, too!
