Jerry Gach
Jerry Gach has been raising worms for the past 7 years and his interest in worm composting began through a need to feed 50 hungry box turtles. After attending a local composting seminar that filled two classrooms of people interested in Worm Composting, Jerry soon realized there was a serious business opportunity in worms.
What started as a plan to raise African Nightcrawlers, evolved into a high volume worm business selling every type of commercial worm available. Jerry now manufacturers his own commercial flow through composting system, The Worm Inn, which is currently being used by the two major Vermiculture Research Facilities in the world (Ohio State University and North Carolina University), and will soon be sold via a licensing agreement in Europe.
Angela Prain
Holding a major in Ecology and being a high school horticulture teacher, Angela’s passion for worm farming started about four years ago when she moved to a very environmentally friendly community called Raglan in the North Island of New Zealand.
Shortly after building her first of 4 worm farms for her school Angela became amazed with the amount of food the worms could process. She then tried selling some of the worms, and within hours she had her first success and sale.
That is where it all began and Angela has since progressed to selling different types of worm farms, and worm tea (leachate) in various volumes. Angela says her main motivation for this business is mostly helping New Zealand be more environmentally friendly.
Bentley Christie

Bentley was also a co-author to our best selling guide – “The Business & Biology of Raising Composting Worms” – which has literally sold thousands of copies since it’s first release.

What a fantastic bunch of information...
KAYLE ZIMMERMAN
What a fantastic bunch of information! Much of it is above my level for sure, but it will be something to look forward to in the future. What a diverse business, it should never get boring no matter which specialty you go into. I only started last year with 2 pounds of European and 1 pound of red wigglers. I put them in four separate 4 gallon plastic buckets. I now have 100 buckets of mixed worms.
At the present time I don't care whether I sell the worms or the vermiculture. I am an avid gardener and fisherman and have 10 grand children that help me, at least with the fishing. Anyway, thank you for a great book and I will be interested in buying any future books.
