As the southern and eastern gates opened to Rudy’s Happy Patch Market recently, new and returning customers lost no time in checking out the inventory of new plants. They also learned about some of the planned changes for market operation in the 2021 market. Even though the market was not yet fully stocked, customers showed their appreciation for the market.

“Right now, our market is active in plants,” staff member Kelly Jansen explained. “When our local farmers start vegetable production, our produce market will be active as well.” 

Kelly continued, “We had former customers and new customers here. All our customers were excited about the opening.”
