Join us for the 6th Annual Santa Barbara County Farm Day in August 2024

What is Farm Day?

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 is a first-of-its-kind FREE event where local farms, ranches, wineries, and agricultural organizations open their doors to the public for tours, produce tastings and other activities! It is completely self-guided — you drive yourself to any of the locations on our Farm Day Trail Map on the day of the event at your own pace. With more than 10 locations in each county to choose from, Farm Day has something for everyone!

Join us to learn more about the farm origins of your food, meet some of the folks responsible for producing the food we eat, and more!

How It All Began

The first Farm Day was held in Ventura County in the Fall of 2013 and featured a variety of growers, ranches, and agricultural organizations. It has since grown into a community-wide event, now hosted in two counties, with over 30 participating locations, and more than 6,000 visitors each year!

Farm Day is proudly presented by SEEAG, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that educates students and the greater community about the farm origins of our food and agriculture's contribution to our nutritional well-being.
