About us: The Worm Herder
Welcome to The Worm Herder, a family-run startup born out of a shared passion for sustainable living and ethical farming. What started as a humble hobby two years ago has blossomed into a thriving venture dedicated to Vermiculture and Vermicomposting.
Our Roots:
Founded by Jolene and Jethro, The Worm Herder is more than just a business; it’s a family endeavor built on a commitment to eco-friendly practices and the principles of ethical farming. Our journey began as a small-scale hobby, driven by a desire to contribute to a more sustainable and green future.
Our Evolution:
Over the past two years, The Worm Herder has grown exponentially, evolving from a simple passion project into a successful enterprise. Our dedication to Vermiculture (the cultivation of worms, specifically the Eisenia fetida, or red wiggler worms) and Vermicomposting (the process of using worms to decompose organic waste) has become the cornerstone of our mission.
Our Location:
Nestled in the heart of the Northern Cape, on a picturesque smallholding next to the Vaal River, The Worm Herder (Pty) LTD enjoys an ideal setting. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the landscape, we are strategically positioned to cater to the agricultural sector and the greenhouse industry.
Why Vermiculture and Vermicomposting?
At The Worm Herder, we believe in the power of nature to heal and nourish. Vermiculture and Vermicomposting offer sustainable solutions to enhance soil health and promote eco-conscious practices. Our red wiggler worms play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, producing nutrient-rich castings that serve as a natural and effective fertilizer.
