The Wormz Organic Scam & The Ugly Face of Worm Farming
Earlier this summer, I was disheartened to learn that “Wormz Organic” had turned out to be a worm business scam operation. I certainly viewed the enterprise with healthy skepticism – their repeated requests (sent to me and multiple worm farming friends) for quotes on HUGE quantities of worms, along with the overall ‘feel’ of their […]
Castaway Keith’s TV Appearance
WFA member, Keith O’Dell, recently appeared on a live TV show. He told fellow members (on the WFA forum) that it was very much a last-minute invitation, and that he was feeling pretty nervous about it as a result. As you’ll see – he did really well! Way to go, Keith! Here is a link […]
Larry’s Follow-Along – Lesson #1
Well, I must say that this “follow-along” series is certainly coming along pretty sloooooowly (sorry Larry!!) – but I guess the the important thing is that progress is being made.

Interestingly enough, while a lot of Steve’s recent focus has been on vermicomposting, he actually graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and worked (in some pretty impressive places) as […]
Quick & Dirty Website Creation – PART II
In my first “Quick and Dirty Website Creation” installment, I provided a broad overview of the website creation process, sharing WHY I think it’s so valuable to at least learn the fundamentals (while emphasizing the fact that it’s not nearly as challenging as most people think), and touched on the three MAIN components needed to […]
Joe Ferrone – Joe Ferrone Worm Poop, LLC
Joe Ferrone, like Cristy Christie, is an original “Inner Circle” (now merged with the WFA) member, and someone who has put a lot of work into getting his vermicomposting business off the ground. Also similar to Cristy, Joe decided to focus primarily on the sale of worm castings – but that’s where the similarities end. […]
Cristy Christie – Slo County Worm Farm
This fall I have been inviting WFA members to share information about their vermicomposting businesses here on the WFA (public) blog. The aim is to help these members promote their businesses, while providing readers with an inside look at some of the cool things that are possible when you get involved in the wonderful world […]
