| The Godfather of California Organics is Optimistic About the Future of Food |
By Naomi Starkman, Civil Eats. Photo of Warren Weber from The Lexicon of Food. Find Star Route Farms at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturdays.
If youâre a farm nerd like me, Warren Weber is something of a rock star. Weber, now 77 and semi-retired after decades of organic farming in California, doesnât remember me fawning over him more than 15 years ago as I made a cross-country pilgrimage to visit his jewel-like Star Route Farms, the oldest organic farm in the state, nestled in the tiny, oceanside town of Bolinas, California.
But for me, and many people, Weberâwho founded the farm in 1974, and a year before helped craft the stateâs first organic certification standardsâdefines the history of organic farming in California. |
