We want to hear from YOU!

Would you be interested in another farm tour to White Oak Pastures? We had such an incredible experience learning about regenerative agriculture, sustainable farming practices, and seeing the farm operations up close—and we’d love to know if our community would enjoy another trip!

What other farm tours or agriculture-related field trips would you be interested in?

♻️ Did you know we have a Community Composting Program at Old Rucker Farm?

The Alpharetta Community Composting Program helps households divert food waste from the landfill while creating nutrient-rich soil right here in our community! Participants use a FoodCycler at home to dehydrate food scraps, then bring the dehydrated food waste to the farm where it becomes part of our composting system.

We’ve partnered with Food Cycle Science to offer discounted FoodCycler units for participants, making composting cleaner, easier, and perfect for households without space for a traditional compost pile. Plus, participants receive a 5-gallon bucket from the farm for easy transport.

Once your FoodCycler is purchased, there are no additional program fees—and you can choose to bring your compost to the farm or use it at home in your own garden or landscape

Already own a FoodCycler, Lomi, Mill, or similar unit? You can still join the fun!

Healthy soil starts at home!

We host over 1,000 volunteers at the farm every year, and we truly cannot do what we do without the help of volunteers.

Volunteering with us is an excellent way to gain knowledge and experience about gardening and farming. We do not require volunteers to have any previous experience.

Our chickens LOVE garden scraps!

From leafy greens and veggie trimmings to leftover herbs from the garden, our flock enjoys fresh farm snacks while helping reduce waste at the same time

Happy chickens, healthier soil, and less food waste—it’s all part of the cycle here at the Farm!
