Bhunaga Worm Farm was founded by Prathamesh Karandikar, Ph.D., and Emma Brent, a husband-and-wife team united by a shared love of living soil and the quiet craft of nurturing plants.

Prathamesh, a chemical engineer with a doctorate and a lifelong curiosity for natural systems, serves as Chief Scientist and Co-Owner. His work brings scientific precision to an old-world practice, ensuring every batch of aerated compost tea is brewed with intention, integrity, and a deep respect for the biology that sustains healthy soil.

Emma, an avid plant lover and hobby gardener, is the heart of Bhunaga’s daily rhythm. As Chief of Operations and Co-Owner, she keeps the farm grounded in its purpose: helping fellow plant enthusiasts tend to their soil with simple rituals that lead to abundant growth.

Together, they created Bhunaga as a place where tradition meets thoughtful science — a small farm devoted to the living soil beneath every thriving plant.
