The Fifth Annual Santa Barbara County Farm Day, Saturday, Sept. 23, is seeking volunteers.

Farm Day, organized by the nonprofit Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG), is a day when farms and farm-related organizations open their doors to the public for free tours and product samples.

The 17 participating locations, each needing volunteers, are primarily in Santa Maria and in Santa Ynez Valley, Orcutt and Los Alamos.
