A Sustainable Way to Snack
What does sustainable mean to us?
Here at Prairie Cricket Farms, we value planet-friendly, environmentally-conscious practices, and are proud to be able to extend the ability to live more sustainably to our community of customers.
As a protein source, crickets are a more sustainable option overall when compared to alternatives.
Some quick facts on sustainability:
- Crickets use less Water, Land and Feed than traditional protein sources
- Crickets are cold blooded, therefore they use less feed. Physiologically they pull all of their energy into their mass so they don’t waste any heating their bodies.
- Cricket Farming in general is almost zero waste
- We use circular farming practices in which we are able to use everything. From the fertilizer from the cricket manure to their feed, everything is used and nothing is wasted.
Using cricket powder as a protein source in your daily diet is an extremely low-impact way for you to increase your protein consumption while reaping the major benefits of a protein and nutrient-packed supplement.
Increase the positive effects on your body while reducing your environmental impact.
