Cali. farmer gives away tons of nectarines he cannot sell

A Cali. farmer is distributing large quantities of nectarines that he cannot legally sell. The fruit is surplus from his orchard and would otherwise go unsold. He is offering the nectarines to the public for free. The restriction stems from a legal dispute that bars him from commercial sales. The case involves a patent or lawsuit that limits his ability to market the produce. By giving away the fruit, the farmer aims to avoid waste and support the community. The situation underscores how litigation can affect agricultural supply chains. Observers will watch how the dispute resolves and whether other growers face similar limits.
