SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) is seeking sponsors for its First Annual Spring Celebration. The event will honor the farms and people of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties who create the food we eat. The celebration is Saturday, May 10 at the Stow House in Goleta from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Those attending will enjoy a curated farm-to-table brunch prepared by Seasons Catering featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients from SEEAG's Ventura and Santa Barbara farm partners.

Each year, SEEAG's team educates and inspires over 15,000 students and community members throughout both counties about the value of local agriculture and how food is grown. "We are able to provide all our programs completely free," says Caitlin Paulus-Case, SEEAG executive director. "That's only possible because of the generous donations we receive."

The actual cost of SEEAG's Farm-to-Food Lab, a 3-part program for second graders, is $65 per student. For its STEM Career Pathways in Ag, a 3-part program for high schoolers, the true cost is $86 per student. Its Farm Day/Every Day year-round farm tours program for all ages costs $38 per participant. "Every dollar raised makes it possible to keep these programs accessible to all," says Paulus-Case. "They give everyone the opportunity to learn about our local food systems and the benefits of eating healthy."
