Farm Visits

At Friends of Fieldworkers, we believe appreciation should be felt not just said. Our Farm Visits Program brings that belief directly into the fields by delivering fresh, hot meals and essential care items to the hardworking people who plant, maintain, and harvest Ventura County’s crops.

Bringing Gratitude to the Fields

 

What We Do

With the support of local growers, we visit farms and serve free, hot lunches on-site to fieldworker crews. These visits are more than a meal; they’re moments of recognition, connection, and gratitude.

In addition to meals, we often provide essential items such as:

  • Sunscreen and hydration supplies

  • Red Cross kits and safety essentials

  • Seasonal care packages

  • Other resources designed to support wellbeing in the field

Every visit is an opportunity to give back in a meaningful, human way.

Partner With Us

We’re actively looking to collaborate with:

  • Chefs: Bring your culinary talent to the fields and help create nourishing, memorable meals for farmworkers.

  • Restaurants: Join us in giving back by contributing food, ingredients, or kitchen support for farm visits.

  • Corporate Sponsors: Support our mission through funding, supplies, or team volunteer opportunities that directly impact local farmworker communities.

Your partnership helps us expand our reach and serve more crews across Ventura County.
