The presentation will be a brief overview of the largest vermicomposting facility in the US. The facility is co-located on a 1,600 head dairy operation in Avon, NY and annually processes over 10,000,000 Ibs of manure in a highly engineered continuous-flow vermicomposting system. The end product is a certified, "listed", organic plant growth and plant protection material that is used at some of the nation's largest organic and conventional greenhouse operations. The facility employs a two step composting and vermicomposting process to ensure pathogen destruction and ensure consistent end-product quality. The presentation will focus on both the state-of-the-art vermicomposting technology (production process) and its ability to integrate the excess nutrients from animal agriculture (manure management) into sustainable materials for horticultural production. Descriptions will be presented of current innovative manure management systems in place at the dairy and of the operating principals at the vermicomposting facility and its 45,000,000 earthworm workers.
