Experience more than 15 Ventura County farms, ranches, and agricultural organizations who will open their doors to invite participants to join in on Ventura County Farm Day. Join us that day at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula for Master Gardener-led tours, a selfie station, and a Santa Paula Certified Farmers Market stand!

At 11:00 am, there will be a special talk by Luzmaria Espinosa, VC Poet Laureate and Community Activist, about her experience as a farmworker! 

Farm Day is entirely self-guided — you drive yourself at your own pace to any of the locations on the Farm Day Trail Map on the day of the event. We hope you put us on your map for the day! Visit www.venturacountyfarmday.com to plan the adventure!

Bio: Luzmaria Espinosa, Ventura County Poet Laureate, is a lifelong advocate for social justice, rooted in her early experiences as a child farmworker in California’s strawberry fields. Her poetry focuses on themes of Chicano and Indigenous culture, exploring issues of identity, empowerment, and the struggles faced by marginalized communities, particularly women. She has also been a key figure in the cultural arts scene, introducing Danza Azteca to California’s Central Coast and actively supporting the United Farm Workers movement. Espinosa’s work as both a poet and activist is driven by her commitment to peace and social equity.
