If you believe those web pages that say you can make $100,000 a year in the worm business working part-time with no investment, we are going to try to dissuade you of that notion. The worm business is hard work and takes investment in space, machines, and marketing to make it viable. We will teach you what it takes - but if you are coming to learn to breed worms with no investment - we suggest you not come.

John's tour of the Arizona Worm Farm
January is a great time to come to Arizona! The Phoenix area generally experiences its coldest weather in January, yet, daytime temperatures still average in the middle sixties. The normal daily maximum is 66 degrees. Our conference will be mostly outside, so dress for cool, comfortable weather.
You are on you own for transportation. A ride share trip from the hotel to our farm is about $15.

Can we add your farm to the list?
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Worm farmers who want to improve their operations, people considering the worm business, composters who want to improve their profitability.
On the grounds of the Arizona Worm Farm, a 10 acre worm farm in South Phoenix, Arizona. All sessions will be outside, so dress accordingly.
Our refund policy is: yes, until December 1st. You can cancel anytime for any reason and we will refund all you paid us. If you cancel after December 1st, we will return your fees less $100.
It is really not very accessible, sorry. We have mulch or dirt everywhere. We have had people in power wheelchairs here before and they navigated most of the farm - but there are parts they could not go (including our breeding trailers and food forest). I would guess that you would only be able to access 70% of the farm.
And, it doesn't rain here in Phoenix very often...but if it does, the mud makes navigation worse.
And, we do not have wheelchair accessible rest rooms.
For more information, send us a message, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
