No Nectarines Wasted: Help Cesar Mora. I am Cesar Mora and this is my personal fundraiser set up on my own behalf. After many asking to donate cash to me for my Nectarines, I finally set up a GoFundMe for my legal fees. This is the best way you can help me during this time. I appreciate all of the help and love everyone has sent to me. This community support has been more than I could have ever imagined.
Here is my story:
Cesar Mora is a Reedley, California native and proud Central Valley farmer with over 30 years of experience working the land. For the past three years, Cesar has been locked in a legal battle with Giumarra Brothers Fruit Co. (Fresno County Superior Court, Case No. 23CECG03466) that has prevented him from selling his nectarine crop.
Giumarra claims an exclusive license over the fruit Cesar grows and has sued him for breach of contract. Cesar disputes both their ownership claim and the validity of the contract, and is fighting back by suing Giumarra for fraud and misrepresentation.
While this battle plays out in court, 125,000 lbs of fresh nectarines sit unpicked and unsellable. Last year his entire harvest went to waste. This year Cesar is giving it away free to his community rather than watch it rot again.
Legal battles are expensive. Cesar needs your help to continue fighting for his livelihood, his orchard, and his family. Every dollar donated goes directly toward his legal fees as he stands up against a corporation that is trying to take everything he has worked for.
The money from this GoFundMe will go directly to the Cesar Mora Trust Account; C/o Chapman Zaragoza Client Trust Account. These funds will go directly to his attorneys to pay for the legal fees he continues to incur in his battle against Giumarra.
Please donate, share his story, and help us make sure no nectarines go to waste.
