Every apple you eat today has been genetically modified.  How else do you think we have so many varieties? 4951

@mutton: They are saying it is to stop the browning process.  They would mainly be used in school lunches, McDonald's Happy Meals, buffets, etc.

There is Farmer Bill's in Splendora in East River Road. He's been posting on Facebook that he had plants for sale now and his vegetables are all from small growers in Florida.

There is also this place in Hamblen, On The Oaks, I think it's called.
 
The reason FB buys from Florida at this time of year is they have fresh produce and we are still having freezes. His plants are ready to go in the ground as soon as the threat of freeze is over. .. probably the first of March.
 
But I think I'm understanding you want to do the selling, not the buying.

What a bunh of whips we've become when some brown on an apple from a natural process is something we need to "fix". They should teach the kids WHY the apple is brown and if they would make it interesting, kids would eat more fruit. Lmao
