At The Worm Casting Company, everything is about pursuing the best microbiology in a worm casting for soil health and productivity. Healthy soil is one of the most diverse microbial ecosystems in the world. These microbial communities are critical to providing plants with nutrients and metabolites essential for growth, nutritional value and healthy resilience to stressors.
As a biological agriculture company, products that make sense for the soil are at the heart of what we do, and we’re only successful when farmers, growers and land stewards get the results they need.

Farming and land stewardship has been integral to our family for generations. Our passion is farm viability grounded in care for the soil and regenerative agriculture practices.
Founded in 2010 as Carney’s Crawlers, LLC, the company began with the purchase of some worm farming equipment, a little technology and about 12,000 worms. Over a decade later, through hard work and an inventive mindset, The Worm Casting Company has grown to become one of the largest producers of worm casting products and breeder of African Nightcrawler worms in the country.
We’re committed to staying at the forefront of soil health biology to partner with farmers and growers in their pursuit of agronomic performance and long-term soil health.
