SEEAG

Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) is launching its free "Santa Barbara County Child Wellness Initiative."

An anonymous donor has stepped forward and will match all donations up to $15,000 for every dollar donated to Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG).

The evening includes a question and answer session with John Chester, farmer, cinematographer and co-founder of Moorpark's Apricot Lane Farms where the documentary was filmed.

Proceeds from the evening will go to SEEAG's mission to educate students and the public about the farm origins of food and agriculture's contribution to our nutritional wellbeing.

Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) and local growers are creating a series of short videos highlighting agriculture in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

Growers were quick to respond when SEEAG put out the call for produce donations.

Duda Farm Fresh Foods is a big supporter of SEEAG's agricultural education programming that has reached over 40,000 elementary school students in Southern California.

Program lessons are now online and new lessons will be posted every Monday through summer.

Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) was selected to receive a $55,000 grant from St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital (SJPVH) and St. John's Regional Medical Center (SJRMC), members of Dignity Health.

Sponsors include Reiter Affiliated Companies, Driscoll's and Plantel Nurseries.
