The organization's Farm Day events in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties drew more than 16,000 visitors. Thirty-two agricultural operations participated, offering behind-the-scenes tours showing how food is grown, harvested and transported to market.
"SEEAG's school and community programs are designed to foster curiosity and a connection to our local farms in all age groups," said Caitlin Palus Case, SEEAG's executive director. "Students learn about the science of growing our food, its nutritional value and its impact on our bodies. Farm Day visitors come away with an appreciation of the hard work and dedication that goes into growing the food we eat."
Looking ahead to 2025, the organization plans to expand its student programs and add more free community events, Case said.
