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.
About Farm Day
What is Farm Day?
A day full of free agricultural tours and activities hosted at over 20 different farms, ranches, and agricultural organizations across Ventura County. The tours are self-guided. You travel in your own car, at your own pace, visiting the locations most exciting and intriguing to you.
Tours are held between 10 am and 3 pm. Farm Day is all about having fun, exploring the community food system, and learning about Ventura County’s rich agricultural heritage.
