Sorry, we will be closed this Thursday afternoon for employee training. Takes a lot of time to teach those worms to breed!

Worms love pumpkins! After Halloween, please bring us your jack-o-lanterns and decorations. If you make pie, we will take the outsides...special treat for our wigglers.

We will have a bin available in our parking lot.

The bin's worm population was split; half of them remaining in the ...

Thanks for visiting!

Picked up a partial shift for Christmas money so a late start to the morning seemed like a perfectly good reason to stop by Arizona Worm Farm for some seed starting mix because I just used all of mine up.

Kids restarting 2 raised beds means I need worms naturally...

The worm farm also had tons of herbs, brassicas, fall flowers, tomatoes and pepper starts in stock still plus a deal on buy 3 starts get 1 free.

So naturally the extra water bucket I just bought got filled with herbs and starts I didn't have seeds for 🤣

Always a good trip here. I highly recommend taking kids to learn plus they have really great quality plants and soils.

Well, you have done it again and we thank you! We are sold out of bulk compost for 2026. We have lots more curing and expect to have our next batch available in January. Raised Bed Mix and worm castings are still available. City compost remains available in bulk.

Yep, gardening can be expensive. One way to bring down the cost is to make your own compost (I know, we sell compost - but we what we really want is for you to have a successful garden and grow your own food.....if you don't make your own compost, buy ours....if you can make your own - it will be the best possible for your yard).

We have an inexpensive class that will teach you how:

If you are a commercial worm farmer (or want to be) that follow us, I'd like to introduce just one of our speakers for our Worm Business Conference coming in January, 2027.

Samantha “Meme” Flowers is the founder of Meme’s Worms, a woman-owned worm farm in Valdosta, Georgia. What began as a project with her grandson Kyler grew into a business raising red wigglers and European nightcrawlers for gardeners, composters, educators, and other worm farmers.

You should know: we at the Arizona Worm Farm don't ship worms out of state. When a customer calls us from someplace else looking for worms, we send them to Meme. And, she has never let us or them down.

Meme brings hands-on experience to every conversation, from breeding and bedding to harvesting, shipping live worms, and managing a growing farm. She shares what has worked, what has gone wrong, and what she has learned along the way. Her goal is to help more people see what worms can do—and give aspiring growers the confidence to get started.

And, Meme is a published author (From Scraps to Legacy: The Story of Samantha the Heart Behind Meme’s Worms). It is available on Amazon.
