Welcome to the California Department of Food and Agriculture

Ag Day 2010: - Sacramento, California

During California Agriculture Day at the Capitol, we worked with California Women for Agriculture and the California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom to host this year’s event. The Capitol grounds were alive with farm animals, great food and entertainment all celebrating California’s great agricultural bounty. Participants were invited to share their California commodities and information with state legislators, legislative staffers, state agency representatives, the media and the general public.
