"We have farmland all around us," Caitlin Paulus Case, SEEAG executive director. "Farm Day is a wonderful opportunity to see how the food we eat is grown and to connect and hear from the people who make it all happen."

"The beauty of Farm Day is that all of us farmers get to share what we feel is important on our farms with community members who are interested and engaged in learning more about how their food is grown and the people growing it," says Mike Roberts, a farmer with McGrath Family Farm. "Farm Day allows us to meet with our customers, face-to-face, walk the fields and share our unique stories."

Farm Day locations are throughout Ventura County. The public can select where they want to visit by going to the Farm Day Trail Map (https://venturacountyfarmday.com/map%20/) (https://venturacountyfarmday.com/map (https://venturacountyfarmday.com/map%20/)) and then travel at their own pace from site to site. Descriptions of what to expect at each site are included on the map. "We suggest choosing three or four stops so you aren't rushed," says Case.
