A California farmer’s massive free fruit giveaway was shut down after thousands swarmed his orchard, as he battles what he called a “false king” in a bitter legal fight over his nectarine crop. Central Valley farmer Cesar Mora of Reedley said he refused to let another harvest rot on the trees, announcing plans to give away 125,000 pounds of nectarines for free. Mora claims agriculture giant Giumarra has blocked him from packing or selling the stone fruit amid a dispute over ownership, despite his insistence that he’s personally grown the crop for the past decade.
