 Here at The Worm Farm, just 7 miles south of Chico in California’s Durham farming community, we’re hooked on worms.

  We've found that worm farming, or vermiculture, is an excellent way to do some good for ourselves and for the planet.

 One of the amazing benefits of raising composting worms, you see, is their utility as virtual organic garbage disposals: Redworms actually consume all sorts of kitchen scraps and organic compounds like shredded paper and cloth, manure – feed them bits of banana peels, watermelon rinds, blue jean rags, manure (just about anything organic except meat, dairy, and oily substances), and you end up with organic, odorless, castings that will transform fruits, vegetables, and flowers. In some parts of the world, like the Philippines, China , and elsewhere including parts of the U.S. , communities are using composting worms to help reduce waste and grow healthier plants and gardens.

 We grow composting red worms (Eisenia Fetida) and European nightcrawlers (Eisenia Hortensis) in “windrows” - outside for spring, summer, and fall harvesting, and in barns for harvesting in the winter. With our mild Northern California climate and our covered growing areas, we have earthworms - nightcrawlers, red worms and fishing worms- available year round.

 Find out how fun and easy it can be to raise your own earthworms, straight from our farm. Buy our compost worms and ready-to-use worm bins for your own source of composting, for a true natural wonder-drug for your garden or crops.

 Why Worm Farming? You’d be amazed…

The worms and worm-products we cultivate and sell, for the benefit of farmers, landscapers and homeowners (and us!) give back to the soil and the environment as a whole, and we believe in giving back too: we support local schools, and youth groups like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts by offering free tours of our Worm Farm operations, where we can show and teach the positive impact that worms have in a sound ecosystem.

 How Do Worms “Give Back”?

Worm waste takes the form of pinhead-sized “castings” that work to loosen the soil and helps it retain moisture. Even 5% by volume (10 to 20% is considered ideal) will do wonders to repel diseases and parasitic insects, plus stimulating all aspects of plant growth – from seeds to rooting and fruition.

  The Worm Farm is a family-owned enterprise. We started raising worms after getting sold on the virtues and benefits available from the humble worm and worm castings – and found it much preferable to the poultry farming we used to do. We got into worm faming – vermiculture is a fancy word for it – kind of randomly, by an impulse phone call to a number we saw on a billboard. The more we learned about it, the better it seemed.

 The more you know, the more you'll benefit. Why wait? There's a worm with your name on it somewhere in there...
