Mission
The Nutrition Education Program (NEP) provides individuals, families and communities with the knowledge and skills that empower them to make informed choices about healthy diets, efficiently manage food resources, and reduce the risks of chronic diseases and foodborne illness. The education provided draws upon nutrition recommendations presented in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA's MyPyramid. Extension educators target consumers and families, municipal employees, food handlers, low-income and high-risk individuals, the elderly and agencies that serve these populations.

Family Nutrition Program

Family Nutrition Program is a federally funded initiative with matching funds from Barnstable County, providing education and information about healthful eating to individuals and families who receive or are eligible to receive food stamps. Preschool, school age lesson plans, after school enrichment projects, cooking classes for parents, cooking demonstrations and displays for food pantries, newsletters and the Summer Food Service Program are examples of current programming for Barnstable County.
