DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2005, Bay Worms is a non-profit dedicated to diverting waste 
 from landfills by converting into rich soil amendments. By improving the 
 quality of soil and illustrating the benefits of organic gardening we hope 
 to educate the public of the advantages of a closed loop, self-sufficient, 
 local organic food production model. Using vermicomposting methods, we 
 provide compost, worm castings and worms to residents and businesses. We 
 also offer educational opportunities such as workshops, seminars and school 
 presentations.\n\nOur History:\nIn 2005, Berkeley Worms, a UC Berkeley 
 student organization dedicated to vermicomposting, lost its land lease. 
 However, a number of interested students and volunteers hoped to continue 
 the great work of Berkeley Worms and established itself as Bay Worms.  At 
 the same time, the Alameda Point Collaborative desired to host a 
 vermicomposting organization to compliment their community garden.\n\nBay 
 Worms currently operates from APC’s Community Garden 4 days a week with a 
 steady input of organic waste from local residents and businesses, such as 
 Alameda Food Bank. Our greatest thanks goes out to them all! By diverting 
 waste from landfills and illustrating the benefits of organic soil 
 amendments and a closed-loop food production model, we hope to demonstrate 
 how to live sustainably.\n\n\nIT IS BAY WORMS MISSION TO:\n1.Divert food 
 and organic waste from our landfills.\n2.Educate and benefit the public by 
 promoting and implementing vermiculture technology.\n3.Create high quality 
 soil amendments or fertilizer in the form of worm castings as an 
 alternative to commercially produced synthetic products.\n\nWE BELIEVE 
 THAT:\n•Healthy soil, air and water belong to the whole of 
 humanity.\n•Profit taking before satisfying fundamental human needs is 
 unacceptable.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/03/03/18639474.php
