About the Academy:
The HealthBarn® Nutrition Academy is the learning resource that enables HealthBarn® USA to spread its Thumbs-Up, No-Yucks programming nationally to inspire strong bodies, healthy minds. In the midst of today’s processed food, high-speed, tech culture, learning about good nutrition and healthy living is more important than ever.
HealthBarn USA is a leading voice in family nutrition, based in Ridgewood, New Jersey. We have been empowering children and families to live strong, energetic lives for more than 20 years through proprietary, science-based, hands-on nutrition curricula taught at the Ridgewood campus, schools, libraries, camps and other learning centers throughout the greater New York area.
Rachael Ray, TV celebrity chef and best-selling author, calls HealthBarn “a great idea…I’d love to see a HealthBarn everywhere!”
Culinary Creations Educator Training & Programs:
The proprietary Culinary Creations 1.0 & 2.0 Programs are available to teach as an after-school enrichment program, or within the school day for elementary school students in a variety of learning settings. We offer Culinary Creations 1.0 and 2.0 — so you can teach a full year of contagiously fun nutrition education.

Healthy Habits for Life
From a Proven Leader in Family Nutrition
“It’s fun getting kids involved from start to finish and seeing their progression from chopping veggies to eating the variety of recipes. I love being part of their healthy choices and experiencing their reactions during each class.”
