Meet the Worm Studio

  • An indoor system to transform kitchen scraps into nature's best fertilizer, without smells.

  • The stacking layers allow worms to migrate upwards, leaving behind nutrient-rich castings.

  • Made from planet-friendly cedar wood, plastic-free and built with love in Ottawa, Canada.

So why compost, you ask?

1/3 of the food we grow is wasted.

Most of that is sent to landfills to decompose and release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

In Nature, there is no waste. Everything turns into soil with the help of microbes and earthworms.

By composting, you transform waste into a resource to feed our planet. We'll show you how easy it is.

Change The System

Composting shifts us from a linear food system (extract, consume, discard) to a circular one by recognizing food scraps as a valuable resource that helps grow better food.

Simple and Convenient

It takes a few minutes a week to feed your box and you'll love turning it into a ritual. And without smelly trash, you won't need to take it out that often.

Nature's Little Secret

Worm castings, the end product from your box, is a nutrient and microbe rich superfood that works magic on your plants and garden. Once you go black (gold) you can't go back.

Feed Our Planet

Compost creates healthy soil so your garden and plants will be healthy too, leading to a bountiful produce year after year, without much effort. Let Nature do the hard work.
