An orchard and a fruit parlor, actually! The latter of which we'd take fruit from the orchard and make into desserts or sell for gifts if it was a particularly nice piece of fruit. [Which probably sounds weird on its own, in hindsight.] You can still buy the fruit outright, but the parlor just had the "higher quality" items specifically.

[It wasn't some reach for power or anything as far as he was aware. There was no denying that they had kind of cornered a market, but it wasn't much more than that.]

A lot less attitude here. There's still some, but that just seems to be the default for that particular kind?
