About Hocking County

Did you know that the Hocking County Extension office is a branch office of the Ohio State University?  The Ohio State University Extension is funded throught the U.S. Department of Agriculture, The Ohio State Unviersity, and Hocking County Commissioners.  Our Hocking county Office is your front door to the Ohio State University.

We are the world's largest non-formal educational system.  Our practical educational programs combine the needs of local citizens and communities, with new research and technical information.

A few areas of focus are Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS), 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture/Natural Resources, Family Nutrition Program and Community Development.  These programs are continuously being evealuated and updated to meet the changing needs and issues facing our community.

Extension's mission is to help improve and strengthen the lives of Ohioans and we want to start right here in Hocking County.
