California's oldest organic farm comes under attack by environmentalists

At issue is whether Marin County and the California Coastal Commission required enough environmental studies of farmer Warren Weber before allowing Weber to make changes to about five acres of the land. Weber upset the Tomales Bay Association by acceding to a directive from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to restore wetlands that he filled in several years ago. Weber was in the process of getting permits for the work when the suit was filed.

Weber said the five acres provide about 12 percent of his total yield. An association spokesman said the 5 acres would be better left as wetlands.
