This page/"business" was created by an avid worm composter (me!) who couldn't find a local source for worms when he started his first worm bin.

Since then, I've been joined by some equally-devoted friends, who make getting started even easier!

It's not a fancy page/"business"; our only intention is to make it cheap and easy for our fellow Chicagoans to get the right kind of worms to start composting!

 

BIG NEWS! We have a new location! Westchester, IL. If you're out west, email wiggle-west@windycityworms.com to arrange for a pickup!
MORE BIG NEWS! We have ANOTHER new location on Chicago's South Side! WindyCityWorms @ The Plant. We're excited to be joining an elite cadre of some of Chicago's finest environmental businesses!

EVEN MORE BIG NEWS! I am re-vamping the page so it doesn't look like a 3-year old built it! Don't believe me?

That was just a TASTE. The new website will look really nice, and will still contain my witty banter! (yes, that's debatable, OK...)

So here's the deal: 1/2 lb of red wiggler worms for $20. (Approximately 500 worms, but I don't count them)

1/4 lb of red wiggler worms for $10

Finally, to stay true to our CORE MISSION to promote worm composting in Chicago... a shot-glass of worms (maybe 30 worms?) FOR FREE*.

*Pay it forward rules apply. By accepting a free shot of worms, you solemnly (or happily!) pledge to provide worms to at least one other person once they've multiplied enough.

You also have to follow us on Twitter :) A shot of worms will not devour your garbage very quickly, but after a few months they'll have multiplied enough to keep things under control

Thanks for your patience! All WindyCityWorms locations should be OPEN as of April 14th!

USPS shipment $5**

More info!

- 1/4 to 1/2lb worms is plenty to get a bin started. worms will multiply over the course of a month or two and establish a nice community in there. If you're planning to start a lot of bins and need a huge number of worms, make sure to give me at least a week's notice!

- For info about building worm bins: Check HERE: This is how I built mine, more or less. There is a lot of info out there on the internet and you don't need a fancy one (though they are cool and collect worm tea). Build your own or order one! Look around on google (or wherever)! Follow us on Twitter! We're on Facebook now! WindyCityWorms? DIGG? Why YES! Through your organic compost of course! (OK, bad joke. That's a link to digg.com
