Why join the protein and cricket flour revolution?
I CARE! Do you care?
I never really considered the environmental impact of my food choices.
I was not a vegetarian, because I was OK with the animals being “killed” for food consumption-- we are hunter-gatherers, after all.
However, as I learned more about the environmental impact of beef, chicken and fish farming, I began to feel a mixture of emotions; sadness, frustration, and bewilderment, just to name a few. For example, can you believe that producing one pound of beef uses the same amount of water as the equivalent of a shower every day for 6 months?
Isn't that extreme considering the global concern regarding the water shortage?
I don’t know about you, but when I look out my window, summer seems like a faraway dream.
For goodness sake, over here in Toronto, Ontario, it hasn’t stopped snowing since early Saturday morning! Brrr!
I thought to myself, what better way to bring the summer to us than by making a sunny summer salad. Of course the recipe that I’m giving you is full of protein, calcium, iron, and the essential amino acids due to the cricket flour infused in the dressing, and the crunchy wax worms that are added as a topping.
I have posted this recipe before, but what makes this post unique, is that by clicking on the image above, you will be taken to a video showing you exactly how to make the dressing and the salad, step-by-step, by our own awesome Ento-Chef (A.K.A. Bug Chef) Caryn!
For those of you who have taken the plunge and bought cricket flour and are wondering how to use it in your day-to-day cooking, then look no further. Caryn shows you how to easily blend your cricket flour into your salad dressing to pack some protein and other goodies into your salads. For those of you who haven’t tried the flour, but are interested, this is your chance!
The crunchy, crispy wax worms serve as an awesome topping, especially if you are trying to stay away from stuff like croutons. The wax worms add an amazing crunch and light nutty flavor to the salad. If you’re looking to try some of the wax worms, you can get them through special order at Next Millennium Farms, just send your request to [email protected]

You strive to have a farm with distinction, and to enhance production.
You struggle to reduce input feed costs, and reduce energy costs.
Next Millennium Farms, creators of Geoentomophagy , has a practical, easy solution to help you achieve your goals, simply by infusing cricket and worm proteins, in part or in whole, into livestock and pet food.
The nutrient value of cricket and worm proteins is parallel to that of other food sources. However, the most powerful difference is that it comes at a fraction of the cost to your production and to our planet, as it serves to reduce the carbon footprint that is associated with beef and chicken protein production.
Next Millennium Farms is currently working with National and International partners, such as leading Canadian universities in this field, and Canadian food chain suppliers and farmers, to advance this cutting-edge bio-technology, bring Geoentomophagy into the mainstream and understand and pioneer import/export laws and requirements as they relate to insect protein-infused livestock feed.
Currently, excellent empirical peer-reviewed research through generous grants is being conducted globally. These investments being made by governments and entrepreneurs underscore the incredible opportunity that is Entomophagy – for us, our pets and our food sources.

Pet Food:
The newest trend in the pet food industry, raw food diets, has taxed the protein production capacity of the planet. Pet owners are now feeding their cats and dogs top quality beef or chicken that previously made its way to grocery store shelves. Switching the protein in pet food to insect protein will have astronomical benefits for the globe.
Next Millennium Farms envisions a whole new eco-pet food market, with a focus on Geoentomophagy that will maximize nutrition for pets while reducing the carbon footprint through pet food that consists of insect protein. Next Millennium Farms offers both certified organic and standard production protein for use as an ingredient in pet food. From cats to dogs, hamsters to goldfish, we have a solution for you.
If you sell or manufacture pet food, and are looking to reduce your costs, while producing high quality, high protein pet food, all while being environmentally and energy aware, then be sure contact us.

Fish Farming:
Fish are naturally insectivorious .
Next Millennium Farms, along with respected Canadian universities and leading industry partners, has conducted some incredible research, and the results remain consistent across the board.
Studies show that when fish are allowed to consume insects, they thrive in a multitude of ways:
Increased feeding response, which will lead to better production
Reduced mortality rate
Reduced disease
Increased rate of growth
Better color and texture in the meat
The studies prove that incorporating insects into commercially produced feeds will benefit the fish and all who eat them.

Chicken Farming:
Chicken, like fish, are natural insect eaters.
Next Millennium Farms conducted an informal study. Live mealworms were fed to baby chicks that were only a day old. They took to them like they had eaten them every day for years. Remember, these chickens had not seen a live worm before, nor had any chickens before them going back many generations. As the mealworms were dropped on the ground, the baby chicks rushed to them, devoured them, and looked for more.
Although this was just an informal study, Next Millennium Farms was inspired to create an entirely new opportunity for livestock feed.
All over the world, research is being conducted, confirming the opportunity for insect-based feeds. To date, the research is showing that chickens not only grow very well on insect-based proteins, they thrive in a multitude of ways:
Reduced disease
Reduced mortality in young chickens
Increased meat to carcass ratio
Improved flavor of the meats
