Our values

  • Authenticity

    We believe in getting our hands dirty and staying grounded with practical, sustainable approaches to vermicomposting solutions. As you can probably tell from our sock tans, we’d rather be out in the sun than stuck behind a screen.

  • Impact

    Despite what many may think, vermicomposting requires very little elbow grease (there are many worm myths we’re here to bust!). We believe that once the right system is introduced, anyone can harness the benefits of worm-assisted composting. We want as many growers as possible to become more self-sufficient and create positive, long-lasting effects we can all be proud of.

  • Innovation

    Our never-ending desire to learn, improve, and discover new ways of doing things sets us apart. Nature evolves and we’re prepared to evolve with her, always trailing and testing more effective methods to take from our grounds to yours. 

  • Openness

    We understand the value of working for a cause bigger than ourselves, which is why we welcome open conversation, collaboration and take a transparent approach to sharing our resources. We’re here to help facilitate a revolution, and we look forward to bringing you with us.
