About The conference

---

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.

There is a discounted rate for partners and spouses.

 Our refund policy is: yes.  You can cancel anytime for any reason and we will refund all you paid us. 

 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.

 We want the conference to be as safe as possible for our team and our guests. If you have a medical reason you are not getting a vaccine, bring us a negative COVID test from within 72 hours and you are welcome.  

But, vermicompost and all the organic things we do and teach are based in science.  Fungal and Bacterial interaction with organic matter is a tested, scientific fact and we will base this conference on those facts.  Similarly, the COVID vaccination is based on decades of solid science and is demonstrably less dangerous than catching COVID.  We recommend you get vaccinated.  

If you want to argue the science, please don't come.  I won't argue with you about microbes converting organic matter into plant-accessible nutrients and I won't argue with thousands of doctors and experts that have proven the vaccine is safe and effective.
