Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry loves to chat with morning customers when they arrive at Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, on the wellness center campus.

“I enjoy the rush of new and repeat customers as they visit our market,” Stuart relates. “They like to be among the first to select from our newest displays of tomatoes and other locally grown vegetables. Their comments on why they visit early are gratifying.”

Stuart notes that the general comment tends to be, “I came to select some local tomatoes.” He reports that lately, Ricky Duke has been receiving many customer accolades for his produce, along with numerous other providers.
