Herron Farms

I needed a pound of red worms to start my Worm Factory 360 and found Herron Farms as the closest worm seller to me according to
. I called in advance to make sure he would be around and that also gave him the time to get the bag of worms together for me before I got there. Tim Herron works out of his home, which is a few miles from the North Georgia Premium Outlets (in case you want to plan shopping beforehand), and is very friendly and easy to talk to. Getting there does involve driving for a short stint on somewhat rough pebble roads so keep that in mind before you show up in a 2-​door coupe like i did :)
After a quick tour of his garden and current projects, and giving me some advice on how not to kill my worms, Tim charged me something like $ 28 for my 1 pound of worms, which is very comparable to the price you’d find anywhere, including
. As an added bonus, he also gave me a small bag of completed compost/​worm castings with instructions to make worm tea with while I wait for my own first batch of castings because he said that’s what most people are after when they start vermicomposting. He uses it in his own garden and you would not believe the size of his vegetables.
That was 2 days ago and my worms are all still very lively and doing their thing. I’m still a bit obsessed with checking on them and I’m sure they hate it. In any case, I recommend visiting Tim if you need to buy some worms to help in composting or to help out your garden. His business card also mentions wholesale of New Zealand Red Rabbits but I’m not sure if that’s available (only because my allergic-​to-​everything Yorkie is on a canned rabbit & potato diet and the manufacturer said there’s a rabbit shortage in the country at the moment).
