France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine goes behind the scenes at the farm

A big first for our Willys: they've been on the TV news! France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine filmed a report at Moutta Farm, broadcast on 29 July 2021.

A farm like no other

When people think of a farm, they picture cows, hens or fields of wheat. Here, the residents are much smaller: they are compost worms, from the Eisenia family. What we do is vermiculture, the breeding of earthworms.

These worms are true recycling champions. In a wormery, they turn peelings and kitchen scraps into a very rich natural fertiliser: vermicompost.

From our breeding beds to your wormery

With every order, our worms are sorted and weighed, then packed with a transport bedding developed at the farm so they travel in good conditions. They then set off for their new home: the wormery of a household, a school, a business or a local authority.

The France 3 report takes you into this fascinating world and introduces you to the team who look after it every day.

Thank you to the France 3 team

A big thank you to Éric Poussard and his team for their curiosity and good humour during filming. And what about you – would you like to welcome some Willys of your own? Discover our Eisenia compost worms.
