Founding Story

Hi, I'm Akil, beside me is Purrcy, and I'm holding freshly harvested worm poop in my hand!

I started composting to keep him from getting to the food in the trash and fell in love with my worm bin! I want others to experience the same joy. Recycling kitchen scraps into plant food is SO EMPOWERING! Not to mention how good it is for our soil (and mental) health.
