The Beginning
Las Vegas Worm Farm began with Michelle’s garden.
When Dennis noticed how many worms were thriving in her soil, curiosity took over. He began researching, ordered a few more worms, and started experimenting. A few worms quickly became a worm-breeding operation—and eventually, high-quality worm castings.
But Dennis wanted to understand why worm castings helped plants grow so well. That question led him deeper into the relationship between soil, plants, and microorganisms—and ultimately to the Soil Food Web.
Today, Las Vegas Worm Farm uses those natural biological principles to help people build living soil and grow healthier, more productive plants. Because when we work with Mother Nature, she does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Expansion

I was starting to run low on worm castings and was also maxed out on space at home so It was time to look for a property that I could lease to expand the business.
Nature Strikes Back
Feb 2026
We've had some bad winds since we had these up but this time it was just too much. Both of our 20ft x 40ft tents got blown over and destroyed. Luckily there was no damage to the worm wedges below the tents. Mother nature won this time.
