Can worms spread harmful bacteria such as ecoli and salmonella?

Indoor kelowna Farmer’s market
Hi everybody,
At the beginning of November, the Kelowna farmer’s market is going to move inside. You will be able to find your fresh product and craft at the Parkinson Recreation Center every Saturday, all winter long from 9am to 1pm, until the end of Marsh.
The market indoor being significantly smaller, I was able to get only 2 dates so far:
-November 5th, 2011
-December 3rd, 2011
As always you welcome to call (250-864-4213) to book your vermicompost needs or order on line over the winter. We will be happy to ship to you.

Thanks,
