How did a small Eastern Washington State community of organic farmers defeat the application of sewage sludge in their farm land watershed?
Hear Mill Canyon resident Morton Alexander describe the Tolstoy Farm community and its fight against getting sludged.
Hear Attorney Rachael Osborn explain the legal issues involved.
Morton Alexander is a retired WA State employee and experienced community organizer. He has lived in Mill Canyon for 46 years. He is a neighbor to the Tolstoy Farm and maintains his own organic orchard. His natural spring has been a source of clean drinking water for neighbors.

Would love to learn more on how to keep biosolids from being spread on land affecting watersheds…..do you have references, conferences, and/or other information you could share for us also fighting the fight?
Many many thanks
