SEEAG’s First Annual Summer Celebration Fundraiser

Saturday, August 16, 2025
10:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Ventura County Agricultural Museum, Santa Paula

At SEEAG, we don’t just bring people to farms—we bring farms to life.

Our educators and community partners are at the heart of our mission, sparking curiosity, deepening understanding, and inspiring people of all ages to value and protect our local food systems. Each year, SEEAG reaches more than 15,000 individuals—and now, we’re ready to grow.

We’re thrilled to announce a unique opportunity: the transformation of 6 acres of underutilized community land in Oxnard into a vibrant hub for education, nourishment, and connection. To support this bold new chapter, we invite you to learn more about The Whole Harvest Campaign, and celebrate the milestone vote with us at our First Annual Summer Celebration by raising funds for this exciting project.

Held at the Ventura County Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula, this special event will honor the past, present, and future of farming on the Central Coast. Enjoy a farm-to-table brunch by Seasons Catering, build-your-own bouquet at the Flower Bar sponsored by Pyramid Flowers, bid on live auction items to help fund tangible needs, and be among the first to see our vision for SEEAG’s future farm campus.

Celebrate local agriculture. Connect with community. Support SEEAG’s next season of impact.

THE TRUE COST OF FREE PROGRAMS

SEEAG’s dedicated team educates and inspires over 15,000 students and community members each year through four unique programs and initiatives—all provided completely free of charge. But while they come at no cost to participants, they aren’t without cost to us. Every dollar raised makes it possible to keep these programs accessible to all, especially those who need them most.
