Farm Day
santa barbara + Ventura counties
In an effort to reach and educate more community members about local agriculture, SEEAG founded Ventura County Farm Day in 2013 with Santa Barbara County Farm Day following suit in 2019.
Farm Day’s mission is to connect and educate the community about the farm origins of their food to cultivate informed citizens and agricultural ambassadors.
Join us this year for a day full of FREE tours at local farms, ranches and other agricultural organizations. Each county has something different to see, so join us for one or both weekends!
