Since 2008, SEEAG has advanced a vision of communities where people understand the connection between local agriculture, environmental stewardship, and human health. We strive to cultivate awareness and appreciation of where food comes from and who grows it, encourage a greater consumption of fresh, locally grown foods, and empower individuals to make choices that support individual and shared well-being.

Through experiential and inquiry-based learning models, SEEAG educates and inspires students and the broader community about how food is grown and why agriculture matters. Our cost-free programs begin in 3rd grade with Farm-to-Food Lab, sparking curiosity with hands-on agricultural science in the classroom and on the farm. We extend that learning through STEM Career Pathways in Agriculture, exposing middle and high school students to the diversity of careers across the Central Coast’s agricultural economy. The Youth Wellness Initiative connects young people and families to fresh produce and food access resources, helping bridge the gap between regional agricultural abundance and community need. Farm Day invites the public to connect with local farms through free tours and events, celebrating the hands and lands that feed us across Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.

We believe that understanding the origins and journey of food empowers healthier decisions, strengthens connections to our shared agricultural heritage, and inspires stewardship of a more sustainable food future. If you would like to support this work, we invite you to donate, volunteer, or learn more about our impact.
