Earlier this week, Rudy’s Happy Patch Market opened its morning doors to a group of waiting customers. The group included one couple, Mike and Candy Mellow, from Orlando, Florida. Candy was actually born in Americus, but not relocated and not been back to the area for years. The couple recently purchased land on Hwy 30 and are spending some time touring the countryside.

“I am so happy we found Happy Patch Market,” Mrs. Mellow said. “We will fill our truck and take it back to Florida. I am happy to discover this market. We will be back next time we come here.”

In the photo above, Mike and Candy Mellow thank peers Awan Smith and Kelvin Mullins for their assistance, as Kelvin, right, proudly holds onto the tip he received.
