Vermiculture “Performers”
Hi! Does anyone know of a vermiculture (worm farming) specialist/hobbyist in southeast Michigan that might be interested in sharing their experiences/hobby for a library program? We could gear it toward adults or children. Thank you! *Lindsey Kult* *She/Her* Youth Librarian; Library Supervisor Dearborn Public Library [image: Dearborn Public Library]

Check in with your local fisheries DNR folks and / or local bait shops... they should know who is a worm farmer in the area Rebecca Parker Circulation Supervisor Charlevoix Public Library 231-547-2651 [X] ________________________________ From: Turbok, Joseph via Michlib-l <michlib-l@liblists.org> Sent: Friday, January 2, 2026 12:34 PM To: 'Lindsey Kult' <lkult@dearborn.gov> Cc: 'michlib-l@liblists.org' <michlib-l@liblists.org> Subject: [Michlib-l] Re: Vermiculture “Performers” I am interested in any information you are given as well From: Lindsey Kult via Michlib-l <michlib-l@liblists.org> Sent: Friday, January 2, 2026 12:31 PM To: michlib-l@liblists.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Vermiculture “Performers” ORIGIN EXTERNAL: Use proper judgment and caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email.

Saline had JoJo Farms come out for an adult program, and he brought some bins full of worms. Here's the website: https://www.jojofarmsmichigan.com/ A. On Fri, Jan 2, 2026 at 12:37 PM Rebecca Parker via Michlib-l < michlib-l@liblists.org> wrote:

Our county (Eaton) has a Resource Recovery person who has a touring Vermiculture display-- so maybe someone at your county in the recycling area? On Fri, Jan 2, 2026 at 1:22 PM Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) via Michlib-l < michlib-l@liblists.org> wrote:
