HealthBarn USA®, the leader in proven healthy-lifestyle education for children and families, knows how important the benefits of healthy living can be for the entire family. The Young Harvester’s program, for children ages 6-15, offers a one-of-kind, hands-on experience to work on a farm and learn nutrition through fresh seasonal food.  During the fall, winter, and spring seasons, the 12-week, after-school program delivers the consensus of scientific evidence related to food and nutrition, physical activity and self esteem development through an authentic farm adventure. HealthBarn USA offers a weekly parent workshop to emphasize the importance for the family to develop a healthy lifestyle and make it stick. These workshops give parents the knowledge, skills and recipes they need to succeed at supporting their child’s newly learned habits. Summer Camp at HealthBarn USA, held weekly for children ages 5-15, includes gardening, harvesting, nutrition education through cooking and games, arts and crafts activities and all-natural snacks and lunch. The Seedlings program, for children ages 3-5, is designed to engage in physical activity, participate in preparing new recipes with natural whole foods and visit the garden to experience fresh, seasonal produce.   The 10-week curriculum is offered weekday mornings and early afternoons during the spring, fall and winter seasons. School and Scout field trips, ages 5-15, enables teachers to integrate the healthy-lifestyle experience into science, math, social studies and food science curricula and helps scout leaders present the experience as a challenge for a bead, patch, pin or Try-It.  Adult and Teen Workshops offer a continuing series of practical, cutting edge and in-depth workshops (for groups, minimum of 4) on such topics as supermarket shopping, meal planning, weight and exercise, anti-aging, natural beauty and much more.  The workshops are 1 1/2 hours long and include educational handouts, cooking demonstrations, tastings, new recipes, and a healthy-lifestyle take-home bag. For more information on any of HealthBarn USA’s education programs or workshops, please call or visit the Web site today. Get your family on the path to health and happiness!
