Where can I buy red wrigglers for composting?

[Anonymous]

We're going to start a worm bin for compost this year -- but I can't find any red wriggler worms for sale in the DC/MD area. Do I really have to mail order worms from VT or CA? Have any garderners found any for sale closer to home?

There's a girl named Kathleen Leonard who sold them last Spring at the farmers market in Riverdale MD (near College Park). Contact the farmers market to see if she is still around http://www.rpfarmersmarket.org/
