Lunch 'n Learn with worms at work
Do you promote sustainability at your company? Our one-hour Lunch n' Learn is a great "green" brown bag lunch program for your office or business workplace. We will demonstrate Mini-Bin construction, meet the worms and learn how to care for them. Mini-Bin kits for home or desktop, including a starter colony of worms, may be pre-ordered for $20 and picked up following the presentation. This format is also ideal for professional training conferences. Presentation fee is $100 plus tax.

Private Worm Workshops
Schedule a special two-hour Worm Workshop for your company, club, association, Girl or Boy Scout troop, church group, homeschool group - even your child's birthday party! Each participant will construct a Mini-Bin, learn the principles of vermicomposting, meet the worms and discuss care and feeding, harvesting techniques, population dynamics, batch and continous systems. The Mini-Bin, starter colony of worms, and Mini-Bin Owner's Manual are included in the $30 fee. A friend or family member is welcome to come along with you for an additional $10. Please, no children under 7 years of age.

As workshop sponsor, you are responsible for providing an appropriate space with tables and chairs, and registering and collecting fees from participants. Minimum registration is 10; maximum 20.
