Beginning today, Rudy’s Happy Patch Market will be temporarily closed until March 1, 2024. Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry explains: “Our market activity was great for the fall and days leading up to Christmas. We sold many locally grown vegetables, cooked casseroles, and many other offerings from our kitchens. It was all good, but we need to restock and upgrade our stock offerings. I am sure that our staff and peers will discover other new products that will continue to make us unique in Sumter County and Southwest Georgia. We look forward to a new year in 2024 and an explosion of new products for our growing customers.”

The fresh Christmas trees sign, pictured above, is about to come down, and new seasonal tree displays will begin to fill the lot again this spring.
