California Women for Agriculture

California Women for Agriculture (CWA) is a volunteer group dedicated to promoting agriculture. With twenty-two chapters and over 2,000 members statewide it is the “most active, all-volunteer, grassroots, agricultural support organization in California.”

Established in 1976 the Ventura County Chapter is one of the founding chapters.  Throughout each year dedicated women work together to provide education and outreach opportunities, award scholarships, and promote local agriculture.

Their efforts are guided by the following five objectives:

• To speak on behalf of agriculture in an intelligent, informative, direct, and truthful manner
• To keep CWA members informed on legislative activities pertaining to agriculture
• To join forces with other organizations when the need arises to deal with agricultural issues and challenges
• To share with the public the farmers perspective
• Develop a rapport with consumers, educators, and governmental and business leaders in communities throughout the state
