HealthBarn USA Field Trips

Enjoy a Healthy Experience at HealthBarn USA

Field Trips

With nutrition education a hot topic in schools among administrators, the PTO/PTA/HSA, and parents, our one-of-kind, garden-to-table field trip is a must-do for your students! The field trip curriculum, for students ages 3-15, supports several Core Curriculum Content Standards. The hands-on learning experience can be simply reinforced by teachers in their lesson plans to help students incorporate healthy behaviors into their daily lives at school and at home.

About School Assemblies

Grades Pre-K through 8 can experience “Try it, You’ll Like it” and “The Super Salad Bar” nutrition assemblies in schools and at camps, too!
Kids can’t get enough of these fun and interactive experiences that leave principals, teachers, parent volunteers and parents at home in awe as kids tempt their taste buds with food that comes from nature! Our hands-on approach is so memorable because students love sampling food. We know that food allergies are a concern and as registered dietitians we partner with your school nurse to make sure all children are safe. All of the food served is free of peanuts and tree nuts, and in most cases are wheat free. We serve high quality natural and organic foods for taste testing, too.

About School Workshops

All materials and food, if applicable, are included.

Summer Camp

Join the fun at Summer Camp (ages 4-15) and Summer Seedlings (ages 3-5), located in Ridgewood on beautiful former 10-acre horse farm only 40 minutes from NYC  It's the only garden-to-fork camp experience in Northern NJ, where children spend their summer in a wholesome and dynamic learning environment. Founded by Stacey Antine, MS, RDN, author of Appetite for Life, HealthBarn vigorously educates and excites children about the best eating habits and food sources, empowering them to grow their own organic food, cook delicious recipes, and be protectors of the environment all served up with a lot of fun. Parents rave that lessons stick with kids beyond the Barn; food experts say that Antine understands kids, nutrition, and the joys of good food, and knows how to bring them together.
