Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) is hosting its first Summer Celebration fundraiser Saturday, August 16, to celebrate farming, food and community, and to raise funds for SEEAG’s cost-free education programs. The event will also raise funds for SEEAG’s newly proposed 2.5-acre educational farm campus on underutilized Ventura County land in partnership with the Ventura County Probation Agency.

The Celebration will be at the Ventura County Agricultural Museum in Santa Paula. It highlights the flavors of summer with brunch stations, appetizers, and locally crafted beverages curated by Seasons Catering—featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients from SEEAG’s farm partners and artisanal products from Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Attendees can learn about SEEAG's programs, be the first to view its vision for its new farm campus, explore the museum's current exhibition, enjoy live music, and participate in a live auction.

SEEAG’s programs, including Ventura and Santa Barbara County Farm Days, reach more than 15,000 students and community members annually, working to create deeper understanding and appreciation of local food production. Hours are 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $100 for adults and $50 for youth. Attendees can also purchase a $50 Flower Bar ticket to create their own fresh-cut floral bouquet sponsored by Pyramid Flowers.
