Frequently Asked Questions

FOR SANTA BARBARA & VENTURA COUNTY FARM DAYS

  • The first annual Ventura County Farm Day was held in 2012. In 2019, SEEAG expanded the program to Santa Barbara County. Farm Day is SEEAG’s signature community education and outreach initiative, connecting over 10,000 people each year to our local food system. By opening farm gates to the public, Farm Day fosters meaningful connections between community members and the farmers who grow our food—cultivating appreciation for the hands and lands that nourish us. Like all SEEAG programs, Farm Day is offered completely free of charge, made possible by our generous sponsors and dedicated family of donors.

  • Registration is required to access each location. While same-day registration will be available at all sites with help from our volunteers, we highly recommend pre-registering! You'll receive the latest event updates, plus be automatically entered to win a custom Farm Day print and merch. Winners will be announced the week before Farm Day.

  • Farm Day includes FREE tours and activities at over 15 locations in each county. Visit the Santa Barbara County Farm Day Trail Map or the Ventura County Farm Day Trail Map to see a list of all participating locations, pin locations to your Farm Day itinerary, and export your personalized Trail Map.

  • Guests typically find the most success when aiming to see 3-4 farms during the day. More than that can feel too rushed.

  • Our Trail Map filters allow you to focus on locations that are kid-friendly, grow row crops, raise livestock, are STEM-based, or are an AG support business.

  • Please note: pets are not allowed at any Farm Day locations. Service animals are welcome; however, due to food safety regulations, access to certain areas—such as coolers or processing facilities—may be limited.

  • Farm Day Every Day is a year-round initiative that connects communities to farms. Expanding our one-day annual Farm Day events in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, this new initiative provides year-round community outreach and educational opportunities to deepen the public’s understanding of our local food systems.

Santa Barbara County Farm Day gives you the opportunity to explore over 20 locations from Santa Maria to Carpenteria.

Ventura County Farm Day gives you the opportunity to explore over 15 locations across the county.
