What is Farm Day?

Farm Day is a multiple location one day event for the whole family presented by SEEAG, a 501c3 nonprofit that values agricultural and food education. Farm Day is a FREE event that was founded by the need to educate the community about the farm origins of food and to meet the hands responsible for producing the food we eat.

Farm Day Trail Map – Plan your Itinerary

On Saturday, August 24th, more than 10 Santa Barbara County farms, ranches, and agricultural organizations will open their doors and invite the public to experience a day of agricultural activities and tours during the 6th Annual SBC Farm Day.

You may ask, with so many farms involved, how do you decide which to visit during the event? Luckily, Farm Day is a self-guided tour and we have put together an interactive map that will provide you and your family the information you need to plan your itinerary for the day. We have added filters on our map if you want to just focus on locations that are kid-friendly, grow row crops, raise livestock, are STEM-based, or are an AG support business.

From our experience, visitors typically find the most success when aiming to see 3-4 farms during the day. Each location has an activities planned, ranging from tastings, tours, lessons, kid activities, or a combination. There are activities for everyone in the family!

We have partnered with local hotels in Santa Maria that are offering discount rate during Farm Day weekend! Hotels can be found on our Santa barbara County Farm Day Trail Map.
