SHORT HISTORY:Bay Worms was created in June 2005 after Berkeley Worms lost its landlease at the Richmond Field station. We will continue to do what Berkeley Worms has done for the last 12 years. The APC was at the same time looking for a worm composting organization that they were willing to host. You can say that we were at the right place at the right time. Bay Worms serves the community of Alameda and Berkeley. Using vermicomposting technology, our herd of red worms (Eisenia foetida) turns vegetable matter we collect into one of the best organic fertilizers around: worm castings. We sell castings and compost on site. Drop us a line if you want to place an order or just have a quesiton. We hope to expand our service contracts and collect food waste from more entities at Alameda Point and Berkeley. For now, we collect food waste from : Fellini restaurant, the Alameda Food Bank, Pacific Food Catering at Alameda Point and Childrens Fairyland. Our greatest thanks goes out to them all. By selling our worm castings, compost and other products, we hope to promote home composting and at the same time generate a steady income to fund our new project, the organic garden. For more on our products, go to the Methods link at the left of the page. As we expand and become financially self-sustaining, we hope to be a model for other small institutions and municipalities, demonstrating a cost-effective method for recycling organic food waste. |
