“It is understood that after being contacted the business listing for Thistleberry Farm was changed.”
It sounds like someone other than Apple or the farm owners changed the information for the farm in Apple Maps.
I don’t know if anyone can do this, but I have reported problems with businesses in Apple Maps - marking them as closed, or changing contact information, or moving their position on the map when it was wrong. These changes don’t take effect immediately - I get a notification (usually within a few days) that the changes have been approved. I assume someone at Apple (or more likely, a contracted third party) reviews these suggestions and approves them.
Not to attempt to absolve Apple in any way of responsibility, but what I suspect we are seeing here is a sort of information warfare, where competitors/malicious individuals are reporting changes that they know will hurt the business in question.
