The first question everyone asks is “Where did you get such an idea?”
Well, when Ryan heard from his dad that people in the world are eating crickets as a protein source, his naturally ambitious attitude led him to wonder if he could start a cricket farm in his basement.
Ryan’s farm soon outgrew the basement. He convinced his dad to let him build a room in the farm shop. In the beginning, we were only able to produce enough cricket powder for our own use and a small waitlist of family and friends.
We realized the only way to get these crickets onto the market was to expand again. We took a giant leap to build “the barn”, a 40×40 shed now operating at almost-full capacity. Those first 200 crickets purchased in January 2016 have turned into millions.
The “ick factor” disappears once you learn that crickets are truly a superfood AND taste great!
Crickets are packed with protein and are great for gut health. They can easily be added to many of the recipes you’re already making without altering the taste.
“I was raised on family farms and recognize the importance of growing and raising food, so this seemed like a natural fit to diversify our current farming practices.”
“I am on an exciting adventure and love telling you why you should eat crickets.”
