Hungry Bin didn't come from a lab, it came from a backyard.

Ben Bell, a passionate gardener from New Zealand, was fed up with messy, high-maintenance worm farms. So, he did what any good tinkerer would do: he built a better one.

The first Hungry Bin?

It was made from broken curbside trash bins. Seriously. It wasn’t fancy, but it worked and that was the start of something BIG.

After years of trial, error, and a whole lot of worm-wrangling, Ben created what we like to call the best worm farm ever.

Clean, simple, and ridiculously easy to use.

That’s the Hungry Bin. Born in a backyard. Built for yours.

Composting doesn't stop at the garden gate.

While Hungry Bin quickly became a favorite for home gardeners, it caught the attention of businesses looking for a smarter way to manage food waste on-site. From bustling cafés and busy restaurants to schools, offices, and community gardens, the Hungry Bin has proven that worm farming isn’t just for backyards. It’s a practical, sustainable solution for commercial spaces too.

One of the biggest advantages? It scales beautifully.

Thanks to its modular design, you can line up multiple bins to handle more food waste—without needing special equipment or complicated setups. Whether you're running one kitchen or several, Hungry Bin grows with you.

Hungry Bin has taken roots in the States.

From backyard gardeners and homesteaders to schools, restaurants, and eco-conscious businesses, more and more Americans are discovering what New Zealanders have known for years: Hungry Bin makes composting easy, clean, and surprisingly powerful.

It took off in New Zealand by making worm farming accessible to everyone and now, that same movement is growing right here at home.

With U.S. based manufacturing now live in Wisconsin, getting your own Hungry Bin is easier (and faster) than ever.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for new partnerships, exciting updates, and real stories from composters across the country.
