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:
