Vermicomposting puts worms to work to help solve some of our planet’s most pressing problems. Our worms rescue organic waste from landfills, safely sequester carbon, and regenerate the soil that forms the basis of our food system. Compared to conventional fertilizers, worm castings are safer for humans and the environment. Most importantly, worm castings offer practical benefits for farmers and growers, such as slow-release nutrients, disease resistance, and enhanced water retention. 

Vermicomposting offers surprisingly simple solutions to local, regional, and global problems. We carry vermiculture products aimed at creating a cleaner, healthier, and more bountiful future. Visit our online store to get started today.

We are offering several workshops in Spring 2022! See the details below.
