Nutrition Education

The Yavapai County Cooperative Extension provides nutrition education to families and individuals in Yavapai County.

• We work primarily with young children, their parents/caregivers and seniors through classroom and garden-based education.
• We strive to connect our community with where their food comes from.
• We work to support the local food system by increasing knowledge and awareness about farmers' markets, gardening, and food production and to improve access to fresh produce.
• We offer classes about preparing healthy meals, planning meals on a budget, making healthy choices and more.
• Our work includes serving those eligible under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program) by delivering nutrition education curriculum, events, and activities.
