Is There a Market for Worms

Earthworms can be sold in two main markets. These markets include bait for fishing and worms for composting. They are both sizable markets with many opportunities.

Where can I sell my worms?

In addition to retailing your worms, you can wholesale them to stores. They’re found in the sporting goods department of some Walmart stores, and usually bought from local suppliers. Bait shops are the most obvious wholesale market. You can also try selling to pet stores that carry worm-eating animals.

Is it legal to sell worms?

You may not need special permission to sell worms but you may need some type of license or permit just to “sell”. Every city, county, and state is different so do your due diligence. It could just be a simple phone call and you’re in business.
