Raise Crickets at Home for a Natural High Protein Super Nutritious Food

How to Build and Maintain a Mini Cricket Farm

Walking around the State Fair looking at the livestock and the kids that raise them, it struck me that Mini-Livestock were not represented. Considering the fact that they’re easy to raise humanely, they’re sustainable and super nutritious, it was a shame that they weren’t represented. So, I decided to do something about it and wrote this article on How to Raise Crickets.

Crickets offer a real animal protein with all nine essential amino acids. They are a prebiotic fiber (nutrition for probiotics), high in antioxidants, a perfect Omega 3:6 balance, high in B12, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, and more. They are a very bio-available food source.

Raising crickets is not terribly hard and can be a lot of fun. It’s a great activity to do with kids.

Crickets can be fed leftovers and since the females lay around a hundred eggs during their six to eight week lifetime, once you establish your mini-herd, it will re-populate even after a heavy harvest.
