Right now, thousands of people are working from sunrise to sunset in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to grow, pick, pack, and ship food for the world. While the current situation has helped shine a light on how important our farmland, growers, and farmworkers are, we want to encourage our community to be thankful for their hard work all year long.
Each year, the annual Ventura and Santa Barbara County Farm Day events strive to highlight the diversity and perseverance of our local agriculturalists. At this time, SEEAG is still looking forward to presenting the 8th Annual Ventura County Farm Day and 2nd Annual Santa Barbara County Farm Day later this year.Until then, please visit our Farm Day websites to learn more about our local producers and how you can be involved in this year’s events.
WE HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER BEING A PART OF THIS YEAR’S FARM DAYS.
