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 is a self-guided tour so you have the freedom to explore numerous participating locations at your leisure. Whether you choose to visit one or many, this flexible event allows you to personalize your experience. The day includes behind-the-scenes tours, trailer rides, tastings, giveaways and kid-friendly activities.
Admission tickets are required to access each location. Register once and get QR access to all locations. This means no long lines! Registration will also enter any registrants 18 years of age or older into a drawing to win cool prizes! Winners will be announced on Farm Day August 24th. Only participants who registered with an email will entered to win
On Saturday, August 24th, 15 Santa Barbara County farms, ranches, and agricultural organizations will open their doors and invite the public to experience a day of FREE 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.
No Pets! Due to Food & Safety regulations pets are not allowed at any of the farms. Thank you for your understanding.
If this event allows ticket transfers, you can transfer tickets to someone else by going into your confirmation email > View & Manage Order > Edit Ticket Info / Transfer.
From there, you can change the name on the ticket & email it to the transferred person.
