A $300,000 Lowe’s Community Impact Grant will help Alpharetta turn the existing house at Old Rucker Farm into a Community Education Center.
The city says the renovation will update flooring, mechanical and electrical systems, a bathroom and the kitchen. Planned programs include cooking, nutrition, food preservation, sustainable agriculture and nature-based learning.
The indoor space is intended to support classes, camps and community activities throughout the year, complementing the farm’s outdoor work.
Construction is expected to be completed by March 1, 2027, according to the city’s September announcement. That target describes a future milestone, not an opening already achieved. Families and volunteers can follow the Community Agriculture Program for current activities while the renovation develops.
