The Auburn University Young Farmers and Auburn University Ag Council came together on March 30, 2018 at the ALFA Pavilion on Auburn University’s campus for the first ever PB&J Party. Over 30 College of Agriculture students divided into two teams to see who could make the most PB&J sandwiches in one hour. The winning team made 850 sandwiches in the one-hour event. All together, the students made 2,000 PB&J sandwiches, and donated the sandwiches to those in the Lee County community who are food insecure.
The PB&J Party was hosted by Auburn University Ag Council, Young Farmers and the Alabama Peanut Producers Association.
