Central Coast Worm Farm
A California success story in the vermicomposting industry, Central Coast Worm Farm is expanding
o you remember when the USDA was giving grants to organic compost producers? It was way back in 2024:
Central Coast Worm Farm, LLC started out as a composting facility in Hollister, California over 30 years ago, producing high quality compost for organic farmers on the Central Coast. It eventually modified the composting facility by feeding the compost being produced to a “herd of worms,” yielding pure worm castings and agricultural grade vermicompost. Its product line includes gypsum, lime, meat and bonemeal, biochar, and other soil amendments. The worm castings and vermicompost are OMRI listed and registered as an Organic Input Material by the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Delivery and spreading services are available to farmers.
