If you live in Southwestern Ontario (i.e. within driving range of Waterloo Region) you may want to pick-up worms from our location in Elmira. We operate from home – with no “store-front”, “business hours” or “tours” – however, so all pick-ups are by appointment only. The advantage of picking up your order is that you will pay less, and will also have the opportunity to ask questions and/or look around the yard (most interesting during the summer) if you want.
As is the cased with shipped orders, we do NOT sell worms “by the pound”, but rather in the form of a “Red Worm Mix”. This is basically worm-rich material taken from our beds and then further concentrated (excess habitat material removed) so as to provide customers with a great starter culture for their vermicomposting systems. Aside from containing many adults, it will typically contain loads of juveniles and cocoons as well – so you should expect to see your population grow quite quickly.
Like our “Compost Ecosystem” and “Red Worm Culture” products (of previous years), the Red Worm Mix will also come with valuable habitat material that will help to inoculate your system(s) with beneficial microbes and other helpful composting organisms. Since it’s material the worms are used to (unlike the usual worm shipping substrate, peat moss) – it should also help them to settle in to their new environment more quickly.
1) Pre-order online and SAVE! If you pre-order your Red Worm Mix (for Pick-Up) you are entitled to an additional 10% off the listed prices (below) – you also get “front of the line” order-fulfillment / pick-up appointment priority. 2) “Compost Ecosystem” & “Red Worm Culture” replaced by new “Red Worm Mix”! In previous years, we’ve offered two Red Worm mixes, Compost Ecosystem (aka “Eco-Mix”) and Red Worm Culture – the latter being the more concentrated of the two. We received a lot of positive feedback about these products, but for the sake of streamlining the business and making things a wee bit less confusing we’ve opted instead to start selling a single product – “Red Worm Mix”.

- Red Worm Mix (PICK-UP) -
QUICK SUMMARY – Red Worm Mix is worm-rich material taken from our beds then further concentrated. It is an excellent mix for stocking new systems – we recommend 2-3 bags for a typical medium-sized “worm bin”.
**IMPORTANT**:
1) Pick-ups are by appointment only. If you are pre-ordering online (don’t forget to use the PICKUP12 coupon code when you check out), you will receive an email with more details. If paying upon pick-up (see #2), please submit an email letting us know what product/quantity you are interested in, and when you’d be able to make a pick-up (“business hours” during the week work best for us – but we’re also fairly flexible)
2) If you decide to pay when you pick-up, unfortunately we can only accept cash payments at this time. You also will NOT be entitled to the 10% “pre-order discount”.
