About Us

The Arizona Worm Farm is a sustainable family-owned farm on a mission to turn garbage into food. We don’t use magic wands. We use insects. Our zero-waste model enlists the power of Red Wiggler Worms, Black Soldier Flies, and hot compost piles to turn valley waste into natural gardening products, vegetable starts, and produce.   

We’re determined to use this circular process to combat climate change, divert waste from landfills, and use regenerative soil efforts to put carbon back in the ground where it belongs!  


Our favorite thing, outside of worms, is educating fellow southwest gardeners. Our team of expert Arizona gardeners and vermicompost gurus will happily answer any questions and further educate curious eco-nerds on waste reduction techniques, carbon capture in soil, and regenerative agriculture.

Please note: Our classes are on hold due to Covid, but we are working on virtual classes. If you need any assistance with worms or your backyard garden, please contact us and let us know how we can help!

Our Waste-to-Nutrient Circular Process

  1. Waste: We get food and landscape waste from local partners
  2. Breed & Grow Insects: We feed that food and landscape waste to worms and larvae that turn it into high protein feed and fertilizer
  3. Create Food: We feed the insects and their by-products to our hens and gardens to produce sustainable food and growing products 
  4. Sell or donate food and products: Gardeners and farmers purchase our products closing the loop in food production, excess is donated to local food banks 

Our Vision

We imagined the Arizona Worm Farm in 2014 as a proof of concept for a zero-waste, fully self-sustaining farm for ten families fueled only by  sunshine, rainwater, and other people's garbage.   


We wanted to prove that we can live in harmony with the earth by creating an environment that provides us with food, shelter, and income while positively impacting our land and environment.  In 2017, we launched our concept with one worm breeding trailer. 


That investment has grown to include:

Our 5-10 year vision includes:

  • High-density vegetable gardens capable of feeding at least 40 people year-round
  • A food forest with fruits available every day of the year, in every season
  • Animals, including chickens, goats, sheep, and cattle, sufficient to provide protein for 40 people
  • Increasing the capacity of our insect breeding operations
  • More robust rapid composting operations
  • Solar and bio-diesel generators to power all operations without fossil fuel
  • Water retention systems capable of sustaining all water needs from natural rain events 
  • Climate change mitigation examples of cooling our property and reducing our resource use. 


Share in our vision. Stop by for a self-guided tour to see our operation in action and browse our offerings to learn more about what we have in store. We love to share our passion for worms, food waste reduction, and gardening with all!
