Entomo Farms in Peterborough is noisy, but you can still hear crickets.
They’re not pests the farm intends to whack out with pesticides — these orthoptera insects are its entire business, and, on any given day, around 100 million crickets call Entomo their home — at least until they end up on dinner plates.
Entomo is one of the largest edible bug farms in North America, producing everything from cricket powder and flour to barbecue-flavoured whole roasted crickets and mealworms.
Of course the UN is all for it – “Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security”
