The Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Jefferson County is an educational agency for the residents of Jefferson County.  We provide practical, research-based information that can help people in their everyday lives.

We offer something for just about everybody- including information about agriculture, gardening, home, nutrition, parenting, teen issues, and career opportunities for young people, as well as programs to enhance the lives of our military families.

Through school and community programs, publications, new technologies, media coverage, and other means, we help people use knowledge to enhance the environment, strengthen families and communities, and increase economic development.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Jefferson County is part of a nationwide educational system funding by national, state, and county organizations.  We are part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s network of community-based agencies throughout the country.  We are affiliated with Cornell University, one of the world’s premier research institutions and the land grant university for New York State.  We also work closely with Extension offices in the other 56 counties of the state and New York City.
