The South Plains Food Bank operates a youth farming program called GRUB that began in 2001. It includes an academic year program where students learn farming skills, and a summer work program where they help with tasks like harvesting, washing, and bagging produce. Half of the farm's crop goes to the food bank and kids café. The goals for GRUB are to hire 30 kids over the summer and teach them skills while having fun through activities like camping, swimming, and field trips. GRUB also faces challenges from natural disasters and insects but works to improve the farm and give back.
