The food that nature has provided for all aquatic creatures.

Welcome to Australian Black Worms! I'm Mal Davidson and this is the story of my enterprise:

Situated in the foothills of the Alps in North East Victoria, Australia, on the site of an old goldfield from the 1850's, the farm site was first established in 1968 as Golden Hills Trout Farm using the cold, clear water from Spring Creek and I became the owner of this farm in 1984. The Black Worm side of the farm commenced in an experimental form about 1988, selling small quantities of worm locally and in Melbourne and Adelaide. In 1991 our company was started and a small, specialised growing area was set up. My main emphasis has always been on a quality product, continuing supply and very good service. Three years later with demand for Black Worms growing I increased my production 1000% with a very large shed area and took on two "partners" who set up and worked sheds and sold their worms to me. I have since taken over each of these sheds.

Our production averages 200kg per week and worms are shipped all over Australia to wholesalers for the aquarium trade. Native fish farmers, eel farmers and zoos are also supplied.

Several years of research have gone into developing a dried product with all the benefits of the live worms, but in a much easier form to handle. This product is now ready.
