The co-owner of the beloved 105-acre, sixth-generation Bi-Zi Farms says he might have to close because of a water-rights dispute with the Washington State Department of Ecology.
“It’s a game-ender for the business,” Bill Zimmerman said Monday. “It’s a game-ender for the community.”
The Department of Ecology says the Glenwood-area farm doesn’t have a permit for its well, and it is requiring a study of the watershed before a permit can be issued.
