Hi! My name is Scott. I am 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!
I began collecting food waste from several restaurants in my hometown. I collected around 5000 pounds of waste and converted it into worm castings. 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 really began in 2021 when I partnered with the Urban Worm Company to fulfill their pure red wiggler shipments. In 2024 I created Hungry Worms (previously Mighty Worms) to own my own brand, provide dropshipping services to other businesses, and to sell worms directly to customers at a cheaper price.
Though the brand is new, our expertise with worms and the industry is not. Reach out with any questions!
