Step inside a real working insect farm in Singapore. Watch mealworms upcycle actual food waste, hold live earthworms in your hands, learn why insects are the future of sustainable food — and take home your own vermicomposting kit to keep the cycle going.
Werms Inc is Singapore's urban insect farm, founded by agropreneur Aaron with a simple mission: transform food waste into something powerful. What started as curiosity about nature has become a working farm where mealworms, earthworms, crickets and more convert organic waste — the kind that gets thrown away every single day — into high-protein animal feed and organic fertiliser.
This is not a nature exhibit. It is a live farm where real food waste arrives, real insects process it, and real products leave for fields and fish ponds. More than 200 Singapore schools have brought their students here, and it consistently ranks as one of the most memorable learning journeys available — because participants don't just look. They touch, handle, and take something home.
The focused introduction to insect farming and food waste. Participants learn how Singapore's agri-food supply chain generates enormous waste and discover how insects — quietly, efficiently, and at scale — convert that waste into protein and fertiliser. Hands-on time with live insects is included. Ideal for younger children, first-time visitors and shorter school schedules.
The complete "Table to Farm to Table" journey across three hands-on stations — the full story of how food waste enters the farm and leaves as something valuable. This format is recommended for school learning journeys (P3 and above), NE programmes and corporate sustainability workshops where deeper engagement is the goal.
Every station puts something living in your hands.
The wholesale centre next to Werms Inc discards up to 30–50 kg of unwanted lettuce every single day. A single wholesale centre in Singapore throws away around 7 tonnes of fruits and vegetables daily. At the farm, that waste becomes mealworm feed — and participants see it happening in real time. Watching a tray of mealworms quietly demolish a pile of lettuce is the kind of thing that reframes how you think about food waste for good.
The farm houses mealworms, earthworms, crickets, superworms, lesser mealworms and flightless fruit flies. Each species has a different role in the food system. In the cricket section, participants learn to tell male from female crickets and observe their territorial behaviour in breeding containers. The full tour makes the biology tangible — this is not a slide presentation, it is a living classroom.
Every participant gets their own container. You mix the soil, add the lettuce, and place live earthworms in by hand. No gloves. Students have described this as a genuine "test of courage" — and once the worm curls into your palm, most fears evaporate immediately. The container goes home with you, fully set up and ready to compost your own kitchen scraps. It is the tour's most talked-about moment and its most lasting takeaway.
Insect frass — the by-product of mealworm farming — becomes Wermeal™ Bloom, an organic fertiliser that Werms Inc supplies to local farms and gardens. In the 2-hour tour, participants use it to fertilise fruit trees on site and observe how the farm's fish pond is fed from the same insect system. The entire circular economy — food waste in, protein and fertiliser out — becomes visible in a single visit.
Over 200 Singapore schools have visited Werms Inc. The programme connects directly to MOE's sustainability, science and Social Studies curriculum — food waste, ecosystems, circular economy and environmental stewardship. Teachers consistently report high student engagement and strong knowledge retention. We handle all booking logistics on your behalf.
Children from age 4 can join with parental supervision. The farm is compact, air-conditioned in parts and completely safe for young visitors. The vermicomposting kit they take home turns the visit into a month-long project — parents report their children actively maintain their worm containers and explain the process to grandparents.
ESG reporting, sustainability pledges, green culture campaigns — the Urban Insect Farm Tour is a grounding, hands-on experience that makes abstract sustainability goals concrete. Groups leave with a shared reference point and a practical understanding of circular economy principles. Works as a standalone half-day or as part of a larger Green Day programme.
RC, CC, ITE, polytechnic and NE programme groups are regulars. The tour works well for NE learning journeys focused on food security, sustainability and Singapore's future challenges. The statistics about Singapore's food waste — 7 tonnes per wholesale centre per day — land differently when you are standing inside the solution.
Werms Inc was founded by agropreneur Aaron, whose curiosity about nature grew into a mission to rethink food waste at scale. The farm operates at 102E Pasir Panjang Road — a working urban insect farm producing multiple species for animal feed, aquaculture and organic fertilisation, all from organic waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
Their flagship product, Wermeal™ Bloom, is an insect frass fertiliser derived directly from the mealworm farming process. It is used by local farms, community gardens and individual growers as a natural alternative to synthetic fertilisers. The company also supplies live insects to reptile keepers, bird breeders and aquaculture operations across Singapore.
Aaron and his team have worked with over 200 Singapore schools and are known for customising the itinerary to match the group's specific learning objectives — whether that is a primary school science lesson on life cycles, a secondary NE programme on food security, or a corporate sustainability workshop for a team of 80.

A guided sustainability tour at Werms Inc, Singapore's urban insect farm at Pasir Panjang. Participants watch mealworms and earthworms upcycle real food waste, handle live insects, explore cricket breeding and take home a vermicomposting kit to continue composting at home. Over 200 Singapore schools have participated.
Children from age 4 can join with parental supervision. The 60-minute format works well for preschool and lower primary groups. The 2-hour Circular Economy tour is recommended for P3 and above, secondary students and adult groups.
Handling live insects is encouraged but never forced. The vermicomposting station is hands-on and participants place earthworms into their own containers bare-handed — most find the hesitation disappears within seconds. The farm team is experienced in guiding nervous first-timers.
