Getting Started

Going into ProductionSo you want to breed your own worms? UK Worms and Bait Farm not only supply worms to the domestic and wholesale markets, we also provide help, advice and consultancy for people looking to start breeding small to medium quantities of worms.

What You Can Sell:

Adult worms.

Worm Casts. (worm poo!)

Each 10m2 yields approximately £50 worth of worms and casts each month.


Budgeting: What You Need to Know

It will take between 8 months and a year from the initial set up to produce your first saleable/ usable adult worms.You will produce adult worms before this point, but you need to retain enough to sustain the wormery.


There is an initial outlay to buy the equipment and worms, which works out at approximately £10 for every £1 worth of worms. After that, there are only heating, lighting and packaging costs, so your break-even point is approximately 2 years after you start.

You should  however bear in mind that production can decrease over the winter unless you are able to store your worms in a heated location, so do build this into your budget.

If you need regular large quantities of worms and would like us to breed them for you instead, why not call our sales team on 01582 488108 to enquire about wholesale discounts, or click here for more information.
