5th Annual Ventura County Farm Day Seeks Volunteers

The 5th Annual Conejo Valley Farm Day is seeking volunteers. Farm Day, November 4, is when over 20 farms throughout Ventura County open their doors to the public.

Volunteers are needed at each of the farms to set up and staff information tables and to sell raffle tickets and Farm Day merchandise. They are also needed to help at the afternoon Farm Day barbeque at Hansen Agricultural Center in Santa Paula.

Volunteers can sign up as individuals or as a private or corporate group and can request a preferred city and volunteer time. Each volunteer receives a Farm Day t-shirt.

Ventura County Farm Day is organized by Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG). SEEAG’s mission is to help children understand the farm origins of their food through classroom agricultural education and free farm field trips.

“As Ventura County Farm Day grows, we need more and more volunteers to ensure guests have a wonderful experience,” says Mary Maranville, SEEAG founder and CEO. “Agriculture and those who work the land are an important part of Ventura County. Farm Day is one way to show our appreciation.”
