Does Red Wiggler Care Farm sell worms?

Though our farm name was inspired by worms, we don’t actually sell them.

The name “Red Wiggler” is a nod to the worms that work as unsung heroes to create fertile ground so plants are more likely to be successful in the same way we work to create conditions that gives our community the opportunity to be successful.

Does Red Wiggler have a farmstand?

We do not currently operate a farmstand that is open to the public.

The majority of our certified organic produce is sold through our on-farm CSA memberships. If you’d like to visit the farm, learn more here.
