Hyper Sustainable

Mealworms, the larval form of the darkling beetle Tenebrio molitor, are the future of sustainable, animal feed.  They use a fraction of natural resources - land, water and energy - compared to traditional livestock.  Insects, including mealworms, are a climate friendly solution to the growing feed and livestock problem.

Protein Packed

Dried mealworms are 53-55% protein (live larvae, approx. 20%), 35-37% healthy  unsaturated fats, fiber in the form of chitin, as well as being packed full of micronutrients and vitamins.  They are an ideal, highly digestible addition to the diets of many animal species.  For humans, mealworms provide all of the essential amino and fatty acids and contains more iron per serving than sirloin beef.  Logistically easy to dry, freeze and store.

Super Convenient

Our technology allows virtually anyone to have a continuous supply of locally grown mealworms in the comfort of your home.  Cultivation is straightforward and hassle-free, requiring no special skills in insect husbandry. There are currently more than 12 million insect eating pets in the UK, 23 million in the US and 70 million in the EU.

Reduce Expenses

Bioconverting your kitchen food scraps into a consistent supply of animal feed in the form of beetle larvae helps to measurably reduce or even eliminate the cost of purchasing live feed for your animals.  A beneficial side hustle of rearing mealworms is FRASS, combination of excrement and exoskeletons. Frass is an amazing soil amendment easily applied via top dressing to your garden.  These castings reduce the need for store bought fertilizers, while also boosting the immune system of plants.
