Phillips Worm Farm was a family-owned business on Texas 95 just south of Taylor. Owned and operated by Henry and Olene Phillips and their daughters, Sue and Brenda, the worms lived in peat moss contained in raised beds in a building behind their house. Keep in mind, we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of worms, and they required the same basic care you would give to any “livestock” raised on a farm. “They had to be watered and fed every day,” Brenda recalled.
