Home Sweet Home in Oracle
Welcome to VERMILLION WORMERY!
Our mission is to return organic ‘waste’ to the soil food web using worms, a process known as VERMICOMPOSTING. We envision vermicomposting as an important step to reaching Zero Organic Waste. We’ve found that a good place to start is right in our own homes, community, and region.
We partner with restaurants and friends, taking kitchen scraps and feeding them to our earthworms and producing a beautiful, full-of-life soil amendment called vermicast. Why not contact us about scheduling a fun, hands-on wormshop, where you’ll learn all about earthworms, garbage, and vermicomposting?

Red wigglers - the great composters
We are happy to work with schools and other institutions to start larger-scale organic waste recycling programs. In addition, we offer support services for all of our vermicomposting systems, such as harvesting and system tune-ups.
St. Philip's Farmer's Market
Visit us any Sunday at the Tucson St. Philip’s Farmer’s Market at the corner of River Rd. and Campbell Ave., 9 am – 1 pm, where we have worm composting systems on display and worm compost for sale. If you want to buy worms, please order them by Friday for delivery to the Farmer’s Market on Sunday.
