GROWING FOR GOOD: Hays County Food Bank partners with Bobcat Blend to help on-site garden flourish

The Hays County Food Bank has partnered with Bobcat Blend to help grow its small garden this fall.

The food bank isn’t a stranger to fresh produce, receiving boxes of it daily from local grocery stores and partnerships with local gardeners and farmers. But in recent years, the food bank began its own on-site garden through donations from the community. 

Bobcat Blend, which is a faculty managed, student-run and grant-supported research and teaching-oriented waste management campus composting program at Texas State University, is donating soil and compost for the food bank’s new planter box through the new partnership.
