Enjoy a community day with Florencia Ramirez at The Other Strawberry Festival!

The Other Strawberry Festival—not to be confused with the popular two-day Strawberry Festival that celebrates all things strawberry—invites us to look at the berry more fully. We will still honor the sweetness of strawberries—and the hands that harvest them.

This gathering also asks a deeper question: What would it look like to grow strawberries—and all agriculture on the Oxnard Plain—in a way that truly cares for people and the planet?

The festival marks the transition from a virtual gathering to an in-person event, bringing together community partners, youth leaders, farmers, and neighbors who are weaving a new path forward.
