Trickett v. Ochs

After buying a residence across from the defendants' apple orchard barn in 1992, the plaintiffs experienced no disturbance until the mid-1990s, when the defendants began waxing and storing apples on-site using refrigerated tractor-trailer trucks arriving before dawn, generating substantial new noise and light; after zoning complaints failed, the plaintiffs sued for nuisance, and the superior court held the state's right-to-farm law barred the suit.
