I’ve got my bin all set to go!
How can I purchase worms?
I am already a successful worm bin manager. I’d like to join the Oahu Worm Ohana to add my feeding data to the collective.

Why become a member of the Worm Ohana?
What’s special about this particular vermicomposting program is that we all agree to report our data, as you see displayed on the dashboard below.
Numbers demonstrate the Power of the Collective and measure our impact. You may be feeding your worms only four pounds of food waste a week, but if 1,000 members of the Oʻahu Community Worm Ohana are doing the same – well, that’s two tons of waste diverted each week, 104 tons per year! Vermicomposting reduces costs, and diminishes the pollution and carbon footprint of transportation and central processing. Policy-makers, funders, and influencers in the position to enact change pay attention when we can back up our activity with verifiable data. We make a small difference as individuals, but together, we pack a powerful punch for environmental restoration!
