We began as organic gardeners and composters before we made the leap into hobby vermicomposting and worm raising.  Our original mission was to decrease our impact on the local waste stream, reduce time spent composting and create a safe and organic benefit to our garden beds.  Red Wiggler worms created beautiful, rich compost in a fraction of the time of normal composting.  Soon, other organic gardening friends asked for information about vermicomposting and how to use vermicompost products in their vegetable gardens, flower beds, yards and trees. 

EXCITING NEWS!!  Local restaurant, Highlands Cafe, has agreed to reduce their impact on the environment by providing their produce scraps for the Texas Worm Ranch.  We thank them and hope you will too!  Visit them soon and let them know you appreciate their positive impact on the environment.  Scraps that the Texas Worm Ranch cannot use will benefit the Lake Highlands Community Garden compost bins.

Heather Rinaldi grew up in the farm and ranch lands of Northern Oklahoma.  "I try to share the childhood pleasure I had gardening with my grandparents and parents with my own family.   " Raising worms is a full cycle process in the Rinaldi home.  Family meals seasoned with local, fresh, and organic ingredients provide fruit, veggie, and grain scraps that the worms compost.  In turn, that vermicompost and Texas Worm Ranch Worm Wine (TM) is used as an affordable, organic amendment in our garden plots, which produce bountiful harvests for our family meals.
