It’s that time of year-the peanut butter challenge!
Each October, extension offices across the state try to outcompete one another to collect the most jars of Peanut Butter. Each year the challenge gets better. The challenge gets bigger. The competition gets fiercer. The challenge gets nuttier. This year we’re very excited that Florida A&M is joining in on the peanut butter challenge too!
What is the peanut butter challenge? The peanut butter challenge is a truly wonderful way for Floridians to celebrate Florida’s peanut agriculture industry and to help combat local hunger. Each participating extension office collects unopened jars of peanut butter (or similar) through the month of October. Whichever county collects the most jars wins! All donated jars go to local food banks and charities to distribute to high-need community members.
