## Resource

A California farmer is handing out over 100,000 pounds of nectarines for free—because he’s locked in a legal battle with a company claiming exclusive rights to his white nectarine variety. Cesar Mora, a third-generation grower, says it feels good to share his harvest, even as he fights to protect his livelihood. The dispute centers on the “Monalise” nectarine, patented by a French firm and licensed to Giumarra Brothers Fruit Company, which forced Mora into a contract requiring him to sell only through them. When he tried to break free and sell elsewhere, Giumarra sued him for breach of contract. Mora alleges they wasted his fruit and sold it overseas, while he’s now struggling financially. His case could reshape how growers are protected against corporate fruit patents—and for now, the only sweet reward is seeing people savor his nectarines.
