ALPHARETTA, Ga. â This month marks the opening of Alpharettaâs Grow-A-Row Program at Old Rucker Farm.
The volunteer-based effort is an expansion of the farmâs current produce donation program through a partnership with North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC). The farm serves as an educational tool for harvesting produce while also sharing space with the future Old Rucker Park which is still in the conceptual development phase.
Grow-A-Row was conceived in response to the increased need for supportive programs during the pandemic.
âThe Alpharetta Grow-A-Row program was created to serve a need that has been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic,â Alpharetta Community Services Manager Amanda Musilli said. âKnowing how the pandemic has affected countless families in the area, two incredible volunteers, Mike Ruggiero and James Graeme, wanted the farm to be able to continue to donate produce to the [NFCC] Food Pantry year-round.â
