On mornings already hot with August temperatures, local produce growers rise to harvest their goods, then bring them in to Rudy’s Happy Patch Market for eager customers.
We caught Jessie and Peggy Mitchell on one such recent morning and were pleased to photograph them in front of a most appropriate promotion sign that read, WE SUPPORT LOCAL GROWERS. Their dedication is appreciated, as were the freshly harvested okra and eggplant they brought from their garden.
