Our Story
Did you know that we are a third generation of farmers?
Our legacy started with my Grandpa Charlie in Taiwan. He worked in hybrid vegetable seeds for the government, even being dispatched to South African to help with the agriculture practices there. In 1978 he immigrated to United States and started vegetable farming with his 3 sons (my dad and Uncle Steve).
Throughout the 25 years of commercial farming, the Lee’s had tried all categories of fertilizers and pesticides. In his experience, Uncle Steve began to see how nature had the solution to its own problems. He was convinced of the proven benefits of healthy soil created by microbes from earthworms.
When I was in college, my dad and Grandpa were diagnosed with cancer and did not survive the fight. The vegetable farm was closed but Uncle Steve continued his research with worms in his backyard.
In 2002 the worm farm opened, supplying worm castings to farmers. Uncle Steve’s son, Jack and myself joined the business to help share these powerful natural products.
Today, Uncle Steve’s son, Jack and myself are proud to share the powerful gift of earthworm castings. VermisTerra stands tall as a leading producer in the West Coast, supplying farms, home gardeners, nurseries and soil makers. We believe in crafting the highest quality, most concentrated inputs, taking extra time to ensure excellence. No fillers, no corners cut, just a commitment to quality and results for our customers. We stand behind our products and offer you a money back, satisfaction guarantee.
Jack and myself are parents with young families. We know the importance of safe, organic, fertilizers in our home. We also care about leaving the Earth better for generations to come.
We proudly divert green waste from landfills and turn it into rich compost for our worms. Our process captures carbon, locks it in the soil, and contributes to regenerative farming. We know our products correct soil, water, and fertilizer challenges, offering lush growth and compounding benefits you’ll see each passing year.
Healthy soil is the bedrock for healthy crops, reduced disease and pests, more abundant yields and a cleaner plant free from excessive chemicals and pesticides. Thank you for choosing VermisTerra as your partner in cultivating a thriving garden and contributing to a healthier and happier plant.
Sincerely,
Mindy
