Customer Spotlight: Melba Helf

​

At 85 years young, Melba Helf is one of the most dedicated and cherished members of our market family.

​

A proud mother of five, grandmother of fourteen, and great-grandmother of nine, Melba arrives at the market every Saturday
at 7:00 a.m. ready to help wherever she is needed. From setting up tents to assisting vendors, she is always willing to lend a
hand and help make the market a success.
 

During the market, you'll often find Melba helping at MA's Boiled Peanuts, greeting customers with her warm smile and
friendly spirit.  When she's not helping others, Melba enjoys shopping the market herself. One of her favorite treats is the
blueberry scones from Whymss Farms.

 

The Oconee Farmers Market wouldn't be the same without Melba. Her kindness, dedication, and love for our community
embody everything that makes this market special.

Thank you, Melba, for all you do!
