This Year, Wormfarm Celebrated 25 Years of Defying the Odds and Forging Transformative Connections Along the Rural-Urban Continuum

Since 2000, we've been reasserting the culture in agriculture with a scrappy, committed team and a growing circle of collaborators who believe, as we do, that rural communities are vital to the health and wealth of us all.

Sprouting from our foundational Residency Program on a working vegetable farm, to celebrating 10 years of the Farm/Art DTour, we’ve learned a lot. And there’s plenty more to do. As we hit this milestone, we made the bittersweet decision to conclude the DTour and Fermentation Fest: A Live Culture Convergence to allow for new experiments.

Things are evolving

Like any smart farmer, we know when it’s time to rotate the crops. We never saw the DTour and Fermentation Fest as everlasting events, but as living experiments. See what new work they have inspired.
