October is one of our favorite months because the autumn harvest inspires us to embrace food as medicine! Dark leafy greens and deep-orange squashes are packed with nutrients that support our immune systems as we head into flu season. 🥬🎃

Stacey’s Living Well article in this month’s Ridgewood Magazine offers a handy guide to what’s in season, making it easier to shop for fresh, local produce. Plus, you’ll find great tips for making the most of your pumpkins—even after carving! 🌱

Celebrate the season, nourish your body, and let nature’s harvest inspire healthier choices!

🎃 Holiday Camp kicked off with some pumpkin carving fun! From Squishy to Mr. Burnt Bacon, our campers let their imaginations run wild designing their very own pumpkin heads—and then put the team to work on the carving! 😂

But the fun didn’t stop there! 🌱 Campers saved seeds to plant at home and even secretly planted a few around our garden to grow more pumpkins for next year! 🎃🤫 A little garden magic today means more pumpkin adventures tomorrow!

At HealthBarn, we turn every season into an opportunity to learn, create, get our hands dirty, and celebrate the magic of growing together! 🍂💚

🍞 Sourdough brings people together!

What an incredible evening of inspiration, curiosity, and friendship as Stacey introduced sourdough enthusiasts of all ages to the art of baking a delicious loaf of bread to share with family and friends. Everyone went home with their very own, personally named sourdough starter, bubbling with happiness and ready for its next adventure!

A special thank-you to single & the sourdough for leading the starter experience and helping everyone begin their own sourdough journey! 🌾

And the stars of the evening? Our campers Bernie and Freddie, who stole the show as they eagerly joined their mom to learn the art of sourdough baking! ❤️

At HealthBarn, we love bringing people together through food, learning, and the joy of creating something from scratch. 🌱

🌶️ Are peppers spicy or sweet? 🫑

This is the #1 reason kids tell us they won’t try peppers—they think they’re going to be spicy! 😋

But fresh from the garden, our peppers are crunchy, colorful, and delicious! 🌱 And somehow, chopping them makes you want to munch on them even more!

Then sauté them and toss them with soba noodles, and you’ve got a recipe that is simply irresistible. 💚

At HealthBarn, we love helping kids discover that trying new foods can be fun, delicious—and sometimes a little surprising!

🌱 Garden to table.
🥕 Taste. Explore. Discover.
💚 Strong bodies, healthy minds.

From Barn Bucks to Harvest! 🌱🍈 Sammy wanted to share that she grew these melons from seeds she purchased last summer using her Barn Bucks! 😊🍈

“We just harvested our first honeydew, and it is absolutely delicious—so sweet! 💚 Now we’re hoping the rest of the melons ripen before the end of the season!” Said Sammy’s mom!

THIS is what makes HealthBarn so special and results-oriented: when kids learn at the Barn and families continue the experience together at home, healthy habits grow into real results. 🌱💚

From a tiny seed to a delicious harvest—what a beautiful family success story!
