Santa Barbara County farms are opening their doors to the community to connect, learn, and explore local agriculture firsthand. On September 6, 20 farms, ranches, wineries, and agricultural organizations welcome the public to visit them for Farm Day. The free event is hosted by Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG), whose mission is to educate students and the greater community about the farm origins of our food and agriculture’s contribution to our nutritional well-being.
The seventh annual Santa Barbara County Farm Day is bigger than before with seven additional locations this year. Farm Cart Organics, Folded Hills Winery, Rancho Olivos, Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm, Wolfe Family Farms, Tutti Frutti Farms, and Rincon Farms join this year offering a diverse catalog of options for participants to choose from.
“This year, Santa Barbara County Farm Day has expanded to locations throughout the county, making it easier to participate in this free event,” said Caitlin Paulus-Case, SEEAG executive director.
