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

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

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

We always get our starters and soil here! The quality is top notch with a great selection of flowers, veggies and herbs. Employees are knowledgeable and helpful! 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

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

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

Normally I come here for the worm castings!! Great quality Today I walked around the farm to see what else that were doing on this large piece of property Abundant flowers and vegetable gardens I bought reasonably priced produce grown on the farm. So glad I stopped by. As always wonderful smiling staff always willing to help. 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 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

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

We love gardening and try to stay organic as much as possible. That said if you are into gardening this place is a must visit. We visited this place to do our own worm castings and get some worms to start off. Later did we realize this places offers more than that. If you are looking for soil with the perfect mix, don't look further. They have a growing in the garden mix which is the best to grow your veggies, fruits and plants. Also good compost to top your beds and plants. They sell starter plants too. We mainly buy their worms, which is one of the best things. We are so glad that we have a worm farm locally and it's one of the best places you can shop at. "Be vocal for local" read more

Arizona Worm Farm - Worms which is multiplying in our soil - 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

This is a place I will be going to a bunch in the future for gardening and farming knowledge and supplies. The employees are very knowledgeable and always there to help. The Arizona Worm Farm has many seasonal classes for a small fee. If you have not gone there, please try them and I know that you will be inspired . 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 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

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

Fantastic community resource! All employees were more than helpful even on their busiest day of business. They will teach and help you with everything you need to know about desert gardening. They deliver! And there are fun and educational tours of their grounds and activities and play spaces for kids. Go! read more

Arizona Worm Farm is amazing. I'm glad I found this gem. Their staff is extremely nice and helpful. They will gladly answer all your questions.

If you want to start a garden or maintain one you have, this is the place to go. read more

I took a class last week and I'm going today to get some worms to get my garden started. I love the service and the information they have it's an amazing place to go! I'm also going to get some starts and the selection is amazing and they have in season produce that is grown in AZ. The value of the knowledge that they have is amazing. 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

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

This place is fantastic. Zach is so knowledgeable and helpful. Lots of helpful advice for beginners and experts. Buy castings or get yourself a worm bin, your garden will thank you. Video: https://youtu.be/9jUSZnTrcOI 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

This place is like Disneyland to me. It's where you go to buy the magic for your garden. I've been picking up compost, raised bed mix, worms (of course!) and starts for a while. Yesterday, I took my second garden class with master gardener Leslie. She is beyond kind and overflowing with knowledge. If anyone can help you with tomatoes it's her! Just pulling a turnip out of the earth unleashed a whole day of happiness. Go here. Piles of dirt never were so much fun! read more

Must go!! I came near closing time and I did not feel rushed or pressured to hurry. The woman just kindly gave me a heads up about what time they closed and about the summer hours being updated. I looked around a bit, grabbed some plants and headed to the counter to get some worms and worm castings. I am new at tending to a garden here in AZ so I had many questions. The woman at the register was able to answer all of my questions about gardening and compost and even went above and beyond to show me some of the ideas she was speaking of. Overall a great experience and I would love to return! read more

We love worms!!! My family and I started worm composting many years ago after buying our first bag of worms from the AZ Worm Farm. What started with one composting bin in our garden has evolved into 5 throughout our large garden. We have visited the farm often over the years and it is always such a fun experience. My girls love feeding the chickens and walking through the food forest. I feel that this is one of the few places you can visit and feel zero pressure to buy anything. So if nothing else come for the experience and the opportunity to learn something new. read more

This place has taken my knowledge of gardening to the next level. Amanda was patient and kind and explained how to best use their products for the plants I have.

I left knowing so much and will definitely be back. read more
