They farm 5 million Crickets for Eating | The 3 Cricketeers

Insect Cuisine explores raising crickets and mealworms and using them in a variety of foods. Chad and Claire Simon started raising crickets in their basement and now manage a 3,500-square-foot facility in St. Louis Park that holds 5 million crickets. The 3 Cricketeers owners roast crickets to make snacks and powder, which Chef Gustavo Romero adds to tortillas at Nixta Tortilleria in Minneapolis. Kiah Brasch, a middle school science teacher, forages for grasshoppers and raises mealworms to educate her students on the environmental and health benefits of insect cuisine that is enjoyed by 80 percent of the world’s cultures.
