Amazing knowledgeable staff, very friendly and helpful. We purchased 2 cubes ic yards of their raised bed soil that they loaded into the bed of my pickup truck. We also discussed our lack of success with tomatoes and was recommended we purchase a specific variety of tomato plant, which we did. The also recommended varieties of other plants that thrive in the AZ sun and heat. We have shopped this store multiple times, which is quite a drive from Peoria. We highly recommend the Arizona Worm Farm to gardeners regardless of your experience. read more

This place is an absolutely amazing spot if you're into backyard gardening! We come here a couple times a year for compost, raised bed soil, mulch, etc. It's an oasis in the desert near South Mountain. The staff are super friendly and helpful, always! read more

How anyone rates this less than 5 stars is beyond my comprehension. How amazing to have a place selling such high quality soil products and amendments at such reasonable prices here in the desert! Arizona Worm Farm is based around - you guessed it - worm composting! They sell compost, mulch, garden bed mix (formulated by Angela from Growing in the Garden!), and soil amendments for great prices. That amazing garden bed mix is the same price as mass-produced soil at the big box stores! And not only that it's loaded in your car. Mulch is $1 per 5 gallon bucket and compost was $3!! You can bring whatever container works for you and let them know how much you got. They do also sell 5 gallon buckets with lids for $3 (vs $6 at the big box orange store). They also sell various plant starts and even have some veggies (like to eat) to sell next to where you check out. And -- yes there's more - there's a shaded sitting area by a playground and a "Worm Petting Area" that make this a fun stop with kids. Dirt, worms, and a playground! The staff here are so nice as well. And there's MORE. They offer classes most weekends on gardening, pickling, etc and the prices are very reasonable and usually include some extras like plant starts or pickles. read more

I needed a full cubic yard, (a truck full), of gardening soil and was tired of buying it a bag at a time from The Home Depot. I tried the Arizona Worm Farm. Woo Hoo! It was so impressive!!!! The employees were amazing. I pulled in and they filled my truck with beautiful soil in minutes. In the end, it was much less expensive than buying a bag at a time. Highly, highly recommend this business. read more

Who knew how interesting a work farm would be? I learned so much about gardening and sustainable living. I will definitely be returning. Great selection of plants and other offerings read more

Had exactly what I needed and was in and out of there in no time. Say hi to Luna the cat.

I LOVE the Arizona Worm Farm! I've been a customer here for several years and my garden has only gotten better over time because of it. They provide very high quality services and products at reasonable prices. I love how everything is seasonal so transplants or seeds you buy will usually take off well. The service is unmatched compared to other gardening places I've been to. Employees that I've talked to have all been very knowledgeable and helpful. The overall vibe is that people there want a greener Phoenix and genuinely want you to succeed in all your gardening endeavors. I recall nearly buying a chilipin pepper and Daniel showing me where it lands on the scoville heat scale to make sure I knew what I was getting into. I remember Zach seeing I had all 4 of my little kids with me in line and him helping me check out quickly- even throwing in a free transplant to my purchase! The classes are a great deal for all the hands-on experience you get, not to mention the hand-outs, thorough class notes and you can bring a friend along with you at no additional cost! They even have a playground for kiddos of the customer and free self-guided tours. If you are an AZ gardener (or want to be) the AZWF is a MUST visit location! read more

Spent a lovely morning, did a tour, had breakfast ( not worms) and learned a lot about agraponics, worms and the environment. Recommend a tour if you have a garden or are just interested. You can buy all sorts of gardening supplies, plants, mulch and even fly larvae for your compost pile. read more

My husband has shopped all around the valley for the best place to get plants and plant accoutrements, and he raves about the soil here more than anything else. I think it's magical, from what I can see of the tomatoes on my front porch. It's a fun spot to walk around, with shade and plants everywhere, chickens, dogs, and even an outdoor play structure for kids. We get a dozen eggs every time we come, fresh from the chickens on site. They can help you both grow your own food and eat hyper local, as they sell veggies in plant and harvested form. It's shocking how affordable this place is, especially for the quality and considering we live in a city in the middle of the desert. Employees are knowledgeable and helpful. This place is a true local gem. read more

The Arizona Worm Farm is on a mission to turn everyone on to organic gardening. Whether you come for a stroll through their endless gardens with scents of flora and compost inspiring to start your very own Green Acres; or to scoop up some of richest soil, mulch or compost the Valley has to offer, it is always time well spent to visit the farm. You can procure some of their worm castings or larvae to make your garden grow to new heights. Recently I attended two of their classes, both of which were an excellent value and offered great first hand tips for gardening success in our warm (ha! ha!) climate. I encourage u check out their website and sign up for one that suits you. Both of the classes I took included some plants and soil/fertilizer/mulch to take home with all my new found knowledge at an excellent value. One of the classes I took was led by local celebrity master gardener Angela Judd. She is an endless fount of gardening information and best practices. The class could have easily been 8 hours instead of one. So if you are a certified Master Gardener or simply want to learn what a grow bag is and what to put in it to yield a tomato or two, this is ultimate place for you to "grow" along with your garden. read more

We've been buying worms from the Arizona Worm Farm for a few years now for our garden bed vermicomposting. (I'll do a post on that soon). The worms produce castings that are full of microbes and make for great soil in the garden. Get them in your garden now to give them time to adjust and settle in before it's too hot. The farm sells mulch and compost by the bucket. U-scoop it, so get whatever amount that you need for any size garden. Use the Farm's bucket to measure, or bring your own. Put the compost in your garden for rich, healthy soil and cover with the mulch to hold moisture in. The farm also sells veggie starts and makes their own black soldier fly larva nutrient plus liquid and vermicompost tea. As a family, we've also attended a fun u-pick breakfast that the farm has hosted a few times, and we can't wait to do that again. Check out their website for all that they offer, including a variety of classes. The team is so friendly and helpful, and it's nice to see familiar faces year after year. While you are down in this area, you should also check out The Plant Stand and the Farm at South Mountain. read more

Arizona Worm Farm has helped me each and every time I've been there. From a truck load of raised bed mix (great price that cannot be beat) to seedlings to plant to harvest. 5 stars all the way. I often get the coconut chips also. Their web site is set up very well so we can get an idea of what we might purchase each time. Thanks so much to all who work there. read more

Love this place! Thanks to Growing in Your Garden (Angela) for inspiring us to come all the way here; it was worth it. I needed some top soil (compost) for our native soil, and I also picked up some transplants. They make it so easy and really help if you don't really know what you should be getting. Will be back!! read more

Lifesaver!! What would I do without the Worm Farm? Probably stop trying to garden in the desert. The people, the products and the classes made me enjoy gardening, again. EVERYONE is so friendly, with their knowledge and willingness to share it is truly amazing! It is wonderful to experience plants thriving and available for our desert environment. read more

Best compost I've found & best price!! The staff was incredibly nice & so helpful! I arrived about 10 min before they closed & they said- no problem... take your time. If you need any help just holler! I was so thrilled to have found this plant loving place!! I just wish I had heard about it before, I'd probably have a lot more plants than I do!! You should just GO!! read more

The Arizona Worm Farm is your one stop shop for worms, compost, mulch, and plant starts. They seem to grow year round and for starts for each upcoming season. They also offer gardening classes for beginners. Awesome place, I was very inspired on my visit and took home several starts to transplant in my garden beds, as well as some planting guides. The customer service is great too and staff is very helpful but they also leave you alone to look around. Purchased several bags of mulch and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they use plastic to bag their compost & mulch. Would prefer they use burlap sacks or something more sustainable. read more

I was referred here for gardening soil and it did not disappoint. I drove down a long dirt driveway and it is all dirt. There is a lot going on here. You can get bulk items or bagged mulch, dirt, etc. You just buy it there and drive around a dirt path and they will load up your car. They sell organic food grown there and also plants. I got a box of fresh eggs. There is a farmhouse next door where you pay can buy fresh food as well. It was about $40 for three good sized bags of dirt. $8 for a box of eggs. I will be coming back for more, as everything is fresh and local. The honey comes from farms between NM and here. read more

I was excited to purchase a cubic yard of the Arizona Worm Farm compost for the first time in 2025, which was more expensive than the City of Phoenix compost. When I dropped off the compost, I found that the compost contained significant amounts of shredded plastic, rubber, and small bits of glass and even metal screws. While still usable, I am not sure that I received their in-house compost or the City of Phoenix's compost. While I am not interested in purchasing their compost again, I appreciate their willingness to improve and commit to higher standards of quality and customer service. read more

Arizona Worm Farm - After sifting through a few buckets of the Arizona Worm Farm compost - Attraction Farms Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have loved the classes offered by Arizona Worm Farm. They are informative and don't seem to mine my beginner questions. I have taken advantage of the fill-your-own bucket for compost and I will be going back to get compost as well. I just planted two peach trees purchased here at a lower price than 2 nurseries I checked at. I'm starting to get worms in my garden beds and I'm so excited. This is a wonderful resource for valley gardeners! read more

I absolutely love the AZ worm farm. I get my soil, worms, worm castings, worm casting tea, black fly larvae juice, and starters. While they are not labeled as organic, I trust when they say they do not use any chemicals or toxic pesticides but use the organic process of worms to fertilize their soil and then make sure there are plants next to each other that allow for natural pest control. I do wish their mulch were only from their property and that it was not from the city, but overall, I love everything about this company and hope they never lose their efficacy and high quality. Their starters are very reasonably priced and I always know I'm getting a good deal. They also stand behind their starters and will replace any that don't make it. Additionally, they will assist you via messenger. I have purchased a lot from them and some plants grew and produced and others did not... so I would sometimes forget which was which... A quick photo and message to the company and they were able to answer my questions within 24 hours. I was so very appreciative of that! I hope to continue to learn from them and go to them for my gardening needs. I do wish they would sell fruit trees/bushes and I do wish I didn't live so far from them but those won't keep me from coming back! read more

I got crazy paranoid at the beginning of COVID that our trash services (haha) were going to stop and started composting to reduce waste. I also liked diverting waste from our landfill. But I'm new at it so I signed up for a class at the farm. I took a compost class (hot compost) and it was great! They allow you to bring a +1 so I brought my MIL. Extremely informative and I appreciated the gifts of plants and castings they provide as part of your class fee. Really neat setup and appreciated the education on sustainability. I'm planning to sign up for more classes. read more

I called Arizona worm farm and scheduled for mulch, compost, and worm casings to be delivered to my house in Tempe. The whole process was super easy and fast. They offered to come out the same day to make the delivery. The mulch, compost, and worm casings were very high-quality. I installed everything in my yard. Now my plants are thriving after using the mulch, compost, and worm casings from Arizona worm farm. If I need these products again, this is the first place I'm gonna go to in the future. read more

C and I stopped by here after a trip to our favorite feed and tac store down the way. I acquired 6 chickens back in July and have been looking for a way to up their protein during their winter molt. Going there I wasn't sure what to expect. But upon driving down the drive, you can see they have everything from chickens to greenhouses for growing vegetables. They also have a huge play area for kids and seating. Wondering if that area is for field trips. Regardless, they had no issue with C running off to go play in that area. In my short time there, less than 30 minutes, I learned a lot. And while I wasn't ready to buy live worms to take home, I asked if they had a freeze dried BSFL. Ask and you shall receive.. They had just started that option and it wasn't even in the iPad yet for sale. I ended up buying 2 lbs. It was a little on the pricey side at $15 a lb so I don't think I'll be buying for my chickens very often as it is very $$$. But it's nice to know that I have a local (non Amazon) resource if I decide to splurge on them again. read more

I shop here very frequently. They are my go to for any bagged product. Was looking to do a larger project where I needed about 5 yards of compost. The delivery cost was nearly as much as the compost it's self. I'm about a 1.5 miles outside of their free delivery distance which is 5 miles. Had to place the project on hold until I was able to find a more suitable delivery solution. If you only need a few bags of compost or mulch their stuff is really good. Also if you have your own truck they'll load it for you. read more

I am a first time gardener and started with 3 raised beds in September. I took their Gardening 101 class in October and learned so much and got to tour their farm. I don't live close but have been there several times and every time I learn more and get more inspired. It's a family owned business which makes me love it even more and they are so knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions. One of the owners, Zachary, overheard me talking with another customer there about some of my challenges and he stepped up, asked what area of the valley I live in and offered to come by my home and check out my gardens and give me some much needed encouragement and guidance because he was going to be in my area the following day! What!? That is over the top customer service right there! Love love love the Arizona Worm Farm! read more
