Jefferson County Points of Pride

• Wondering about those bugs? Need a soil sample tested? Each year, we answer more than 500 gardening questions. That doesn't include answers in the Extension Garden Calendars we give away.
  
  
• Ask us about the many opportunities in farm management education--everything from how to do accounting to how to use the Web.
  
  
• Our service supports the marketing of agricultural products, the evolution of public policy on land use, and the successful transition of organizations.
  
  
• Nine Community Educational Outreach Service clubs strengthen individuals and families through continuing education, leadership development, and service.
  
  
• Participants in Be Smart--Eat Smart, a new nutrition education program, meet in small groups with an Extension nutrition associate; they prepare and share nutritious foods.
  
  
• More than 1,500 county food service workers earned food handlers' permits in classes assisted by our Food Safety Team. Forty managers earned national food safety certification.
  
  
• Our Jefferson County 4-H Program and its 44 community clubs support skill- building, career-developing opportunities for 550 youths (ages 4 to 20) and their 300 adult leaders.
  
  
• Careers. Citizenship. Environmental Stewardship. Fun! That's camping at Camp Frame every summer for 500 eager 4-H'ers. 4-H develops leadership, citizenship, communication skills, and more.
