VENTURA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) organized produce donations from 13 different growers to fill over 4,000 bags of fresh produce for farm workers in need. The produce was distributed weekly in April and May.

Participating growers were Gill's Onions, Houweling's Group, San Miguel Produce, Earthtrine Farm, Saticoy Lemon Association, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Petty Ranch, Calavo, Mission Produce, Tamai Family Farms, Fig Tree Farms, Chivas Skin Care and Bennett's Honey Farm.

Growers were quick to respond when SEEAG put out the call for produce donations. "We want to thank our local growers for their tremendous generosity. They know that this has been a stressful time for our farmworker families in Ventura County," says Mary Maranville, SEEAG founder and CEO. "Parents are harvesting crops while their kids are learning at home. Families are struggling financially while taking extra precautions to stay healthy and safe."
