The annual event in Ventura County offers the public a firsthand look into the region’s agricultural industry. Local farms, ranches, and agricultural organizations open their doors, providing tours, demonstrations, and opportunities to learn about the diverse crops and livestock raised in the area. Examples include citrus orchards, avocado farms, vegetable growers, and equestrian centers, all showcasing their operations and contributing to the event’s rich tapestry.
This open house format fosters a greater understanding and appreciation for the agricultural sector’s contribution to the local economy and food supply. It highlights the sustainable practices employed by farmers, educates about the journey of food from field to table, and strengthens the connection between consumers and producers. Historically, such events have proven invaluable in promoting agricultural literacy and community engagement.
