I'm interested in propsing an icon for "shop=farm", for highlighting
roadside farm stands (this is a fun travel activity, as such farm stands
are often not listed in the Yellow pages or conventional maps).
I've thought a single apple is a reasonable symbol for this.
However, the existing greengrocer tag has a single apple in potlatch2
(no rendering in mapnik or osamarender). What would people think of
merging the greengrocer and farm tags into one, then using the apple as
the symbol?
I see a lot of overlap between the two tags. If there is any
distinction between the two tags it is usually clear in context: in the
middle of a city it is more like a "greengrocer" , and out in a rural
area it is more like a "farm stand". Many rural farm stands these days
sell bananas and exotic, so that hardly distinguishes the two.
For an example farm stand see:
