VENTURA, Calif. - TelAve -- Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) will host its first Summer Celebration on 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 Summer Celebration will be held at the Ventura County Agricultural Museum in Santa Paula. Guests will enjoy 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.

"Members of our local ag community play a big role in enabling SEEAG to reach so many students and the public," said Caitlin Paulus-Case, SEEAG's executive director. "They open their doors during SEEAG's Farm Day events and provide resources for our teaching programs."

SEEAG offers three free student ag programs. Farm-to-Food Lab is for third graders and includes a field trip to a working farm. STEM Career Pathways in Ag gives high schoolers the opportunity to learn about careers in agronomy through classroom labs and field trips. Its Youth Wellness Initiative is designed to educate and empower students and their families to embrace healthy lifestyles by understanding the connection between agriculture, nutrition, healthy eating habits and wellness.
