About the Worms

Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida), also known under various common names including: redworm, tiger worm, manure worm, panfish worm and brandling worm are highly efficient composters of organic material - and arguably the most versatile of the composting species, transforming waste into a highly beneficial soil amendment. For this reason, they are often referred to as "the king of composting worms"!

Consider adding 1/4-2 pounds of worms to start, depending on the size of your system. If you are unsure please ask us!

Worms will live up to 3-5 years under optimal conditions, and they can increase greatly in number in 2-3 months, if properly cared for. 

These live composting worms are shipped along with 4L inoculated habitat. You will also receive the printed guide: Caring for your Red Wigglers - A Beginner’s Guide for Successful Vermicomposting.

Your worms are guaranteed to arrive alive, some conditions may apply. 

We ship worms on Mondays and Tuesdays from March 1st-October 31st. Please have your orders in by Sunday at midnight to receive the worms the following week. 

Worms are available for pick-up on the farm all year round.

If you are new to composting, get ready to be inspired as you witness the transformation of what would otherwise be considered waste into a highly valuable resource!
