The Nacogdoches County Extension Office is a local branch of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. This office serves the community by providing research based educational programs and resources across a variety of topics. Key areas of focus include agriculture and natural resources, family and community health, and youth development through the 4-H program.
Within the family and community health area, the office offers programs related to food and nutrition. These educational efforts often cover topics such as healthy eating, food preparation techniques for home use, food safety, and food preservation methods like canning and fermentation. These programs are designed to provide practical skills and knowledge to residents.
The office also engages youth through the 4-H program, which includes projects related to food and nutrition. While not a traditional cooking school, the Extension Office provides community outreach and educational workshops that include hands on and informational sessions focused on food skills, nutrition, and related topics for both adults and young people in Nacogdoches County.
