About Me

Scott Kent, owner of Hungry Worms

Hi, I'm Scott Kent. Husband and Father of 2, and the owner of Hungry Worms.

I began my journey in 2014 when I had been interested in regenerative agriculture. I was particulary interested in "closed loop systems" where, in an agricultural context, nutrients are consistently recycled through a system and (mostly) don't ever get lost. That year I got a small worm bin as a christmas present - my favorite present!

In 2019 I began collecting food waste from several restaurants in my hometown. I collected around 5000 pounds of waste and converted it into worm castings that first season. It was during this time that I pitched my business idea at Utah State University and won the special guest's award, and even had an article in the newspaper written about the worms. I did business with greenhouses, home gardeners, hemp growers, and even competitive pumpkin growers!

​My business grew slowly and steadily, but really started to take off in 2021 when I partnered with the Urban Worm Company to fulfill their pure red wiggler shipments. In 2025 I created Hungry Worms (previously Mighty Worms) to build my own online presence.

Though the brand is new, our expertise with worms and the industry is not. Reach out with any questions!
