I drove all over Woodland Hills for worms... and somehow ended up finding the BEST spot in the Valley. After checking Walmart, Petco, and PetSmart, I kept running into the same problem, either completely sold out or overpriced worms that didn't even look healthy. At that point I was frustrated and honestly ready to give up. That's when I found Wills Worms, and I'm so glad I did. Alyssa had just hand-picked the worms right before I arrived, and you could immediately see the difference. Fresh, active, and exactly what I was looking for. Will took the time to share how they started their business, and hearing that they're doing this to help save for college really stuck with me. Their parents, Kevin and May, were there as well, and you can truly feel the love, support, and strong foundation behind what they're building. What really stood out was that they didn't just sell me worms and send me on my way. They offered advice, answered questions, and made me feel comfortable starting my composting journey. This is the kind of small business you want to support. Great quality, fair pricing, and genuine people behind it. Skip the big stores and come here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Like I need another hobby but vermiculture has always been something that has fascinated me. I built a worm bin out of 5 gallon buckets and have been dealing with L.A. Compost, a city group that shows up at farmer's markets. They gave me my start but of course, I wanted to grow faster so I looked for worm suppliers in the local area and found Will's Worms. Family run (but the kids are the stars) and they made it so simple to increase my efforts. Friendly, lots of info. What else can you want! Gives me faith in the world!! read more

Go support local businesses! Sad I didn't get to meet the kids, (they were in school), but their dad and cute dog will greet you at the door! Great value for a mini worm bin and don't forget to check in for the bonus worms! read more

Highly recommend going to Will's Worms for any of your worm composting needs! read more

Our trip to buy worms was a last-minute thing, and it was an amazing experience . I was not expecting the experience I had with the toddler I had with me. I was greeted by both Will and Alyssa and father. They gave us very useful information. Both Will and Alyssa interacted with the toddler I take care of. She even got to use their swing set. The toddler still talks about her time there. That evening, they reached out to me to see if we had any questions. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of worms. BEST PART IT'S RUN BY THE CHILDREN read more

Will and Alyssa are the cutest worm purveyors in LA. Not only are they cute, they are very knowledgeable. They have a lot of experience with worms and use the castings to fertilize the various plants and fruit trees they have including grapefruit, tangerines, Valencia oranges, avocado, and strawberries. The worms come with an FAQ and instructions. They also give great advice on the bedding and how to shred cardboard to use as the worms' bedding. They also have a YouTube channel to share pro tips. They have already shared great recommendations with me. They are my go-to for vermicoposting. You will not go wrong with Will's Worms. Call/text ahead before you visit! read more

Love being able to support a local and family business! With everything happening, it's important to have hobbies and projects to do around the home. 2020 has been a year of gardening and home renovations, and vermicompost is super helpful in using up food scrap or other plant matter. Unfortunately, many nurseries available in operation don't really carry these helpful critters, and ordering online can be a risk (dead on arrival) which was an experience I had with Amazon... It's really important for me to have compost worms thriving and while also affordable for this project. Will's Worms are local in the Los Angeles/SFV and are very communicative and quick to respond to inquiries via email/messaging to set up a pick-up time. Coordinating was very easy and a must due to COVID guidelines in place. There's even contactless payment (Venmo) available which makes the transaction super easy. After coordinating a time, I was sent helpful instructions to meet up at the location (parking/landmarks) since Studio City can be difficult to find parking. And let me tell you, meeting Will & Alyssa were super sweet! These kids know so much about help composting micro-organisms and ecosystems for their age it'll blow you away. They weren't afraid either of checking the thriving worms in the bins prepared for me by hand, whereas me a grown adult would only touch with gloves LOL The "mini bins" are 6-quart totes that contain ~100 red wrigglers (I picked this type), adult & young ones, and filled with bedding enough for starting a brand new compost system. A helpful instruction manual comes with the bins giving tips and tricks to successfully have a living vermicompost system, this is also available on their website. Their website is super helpful in clearly listing out information/prices/and about the business. Highly recommend to check out Will's Worms if you're looking for some compost buggers for your project! read more

If you're looking for worms, this is the only place you should be considering. I have never bought worms any where else but Will and Alyssa have the best work business ever. These kids know everything there is about worms, are passionate about what they do, they're SUPER smart, and so helpful. I wasn't too wild about having to get worms in the first place but they made me fall in love with them, they're business, and the love of composting. Unfortunately when we went, Alyssa was at math camp (because she's so incredibly smart!) but we got to speak with Will! He handled most of the business with his dad's help of course. Their dad is really teaching them how to run their own business and finances. It's amazing what these kids are doing. They also had a plethora of grapefruits and offered us some! Hands down, the best experience I have ever had buying anything. Thank you Will and Alyssa! read more

I'm starting my first vermicompost system and have been spending lots of time learning all about the topic. A local garden center did have little buckets of worms sitting on shelves, but that just wasn't the way I wanted to go - I couldn't even see them in there. And I didn't want to do mail-order. I checked out all through the LA area, a few vendors who didn't put a lot of info out there, kind of obscure. When I saw Will's Worms, the website, the Youtube... Their product looked great of course and I really wanted to support this little family business! We contacted Will's dad easily by text to get their operating hours for the next couple of days and arranged a meeting time. We made the drive across town and it was so worth it. Got a pound of red wrigglers. I knew I was going to come back for more but wanted to make sure these were settled first since it was my first time with worms! I came back a week later for a pound of european night crawlers. Both times the worms were plentiful, healthy and are doing amazing in my bin. I'm so thrilled. And the experience of visiting Will, Alyssa and their dad was so great! We heard about their worms, their stories, checked out the fish pond, and even got some grapefruit! They'll answer any questions generously. Alyssa gave me tips about aerating my bin and showed us her new mealworm bin and their symbiotic room mates who clean up after them - even let me hold some! It's so great seeing kids so interested in ecology, and a family so supportive - while also getting an education and exposure to business principles! read more

We decided to start using worms to help compost our food waste. I could find several vendors on line, but no one local. I am happy to say that I stumbled upon Will's Worms! I didn't get to meet Will or Alyssa since they were at school, but their dad helped me out! I'm happy to have my worms, but even happier to support a local business, especially one run by two budding entrepreneurs! Thanks kids and good luck with your business! I'm sure I'll be telling others where they can get quality red wigglers locally! read more

Awesome family-owned business! I got a half pound of red wrigglers. There were a ton of worms in the half pound, and they were vigorous and healthy. You also get an informative sheet and how to start your own worm composting bin with your order, and information on how to follow them on their YouTube channel. The videos are fun and informative, so it's worth subscribing. Also, the worms are a good price, and the more you get, the more you save. Kevin also took the time to answer my questions about setting up my composting bin. Overall, great experience and great product. Highly recommended. read more

I'd recommend Will's worms. I'm new to vermicomposting. I've been reading a lot about composting and that led me to worm composting which seemed to make sense based on our situation. I researched and came across Will's Worms, which happens to be down the boulevard from us. A few texts back and forth and we arranged to pick up some worms. I drove over with my daughter who was worm reluctant, and not apparently into idea. Once we were there she got to meet Will and Alyssa who were super sweet and really into teaching me and my six year old about the worms we were buying. They have a great setup for kids, and my daughter didn't want to leave. We were educated on the worms and got some additional unrelated goodies to eat and grow in our yard. So far our 1/2 lb of red crawlers is doing great. We are only 5 days into this experiment, but so far so good. No exodus or deaths and they seem very healthy (I feel like a big situation will manifest itself pretty soon). So all in all we are very pleased. Healthy worms. Good price. Built in education and fun. Thumbs up. read more
