Worm Farms for Food Waste Management Workshop

Invitation ((Tom is only here in the HV for a short visit- do not miss out)

Worm Farms play a key role in waste management and diversion, supporting broader sustainability initiatives and circular economy goals.

Brokenwood Wines has purchased a single Worm Mod (via EPA Bin Trim Rebate program) from Worms Down Under as part of our waste management plan & in preparation for the FOGO ( Food organics, Garden organics) mandate coming in for all NSW Restaurant & Cafes being rolled out from mid-2026.

This single Worm Mod can divert up to 7.3 tonnes of organic waste per year, transforming food and organic scraps into valuable worm castings and liquid fertilizer, reducing landfill reliance, and closing the loop on organic waste.

We are lucky to have Tom Symmons from Worms Down under here at Brokenwood Wines on Friday, 17th October to discuss all things Vermicomposting or Worm Farming & answer any questions you may have about setting one up at your site or venue.

Time: 9:30am-10:30am

Date: Friday, 17th October 2025

Where: Brokenwood Wines Cellar Door
