The Wild Farmlands Foundation applied for and secured a Worm Farm Project grant from the Gaviota Coast Conservancy to research how the application of vermicast could benefit the Ranch’s blueberry farm.
With their partners the Community Environmental Council (CEC), Santa Barbara Blueberries, Santa Barbara City College (SBCC), and New Frontiers Market, the Wild Farmlands Foundation developed a pilot production vermicast system to document and demonstrate the benefits of earthworm vermicast, vermicast teas, and extracts on ecosystems and food-producing lands.
