Dedicated
to integrating culture and agriculture, the Wormfarm
Institute is an evolving laboratory of the arts and
ecology and fertile ground for creative work. Planting
a seed, cultivating, reaping what you sow . . . both
farmer and artist have these activities in common.
The Wormfarm Institute is a 501(c3) non-profit working to build a sustainable
future for agriculture
and the arts by fostering vital links between people
and the land. Generating, supporting and promoting these
links between our creative selves, our work and our
place on earth is essential for a thriving human community.
