While rounding up some of our escaped crickets I came across these guys. The farmer said they’re rejuvenating his soil with the power of cricket chitin. Seems legit. Definitely not a signal to aliens. Gonna like this continue for a while longer.
New project coming soon!

Perennial impacts of cricket frass are becoming evident. Will monitor further as new growth comes in. 100% organic and sustainable alternative to traditional fertilizers and pesticides.

Saying goodbye to a barrel of frass is never easy. Goodbye and Godspeed.

We’ve had a cricket breakout. Everything’s under control and the crickets are being contained. Nothing to worry about! On a separate note, you may want to delay your travel plans to Mississauga. #AIcrickets

Snow melted several days ago. Patches that received frass seven months ago have not only survived but are regrowing. Clearly more going one here than fertilizer. Investigating impact of frass on microbiome. Will keep you posted with updates.

5.5 months after applying frass. There has been frost the past few nights. There is less daylight as winter sets in. Clearly frass improves the plant’s ability to resist.

Our main hot room is about 60m2 (660sqf). Each month we produce 3,000 lbs of crickets and 1,800 lbs of frass.
There's lots of opportunities in cities for urban farmers, and urban farms can evolve to be not only productive, but also beautiful. Connecting urban life back to nature. But in order to make that a possibility, urban farms need to be feasible first. That's one of the challenges we're tacking at Third Millennium Farming.

This is how frass is made. Each bin produces five pounds of crickets and three pounds of frass, every four weeks. Those metrics are well suited for vertical farming. We’ll check out the grow out chamber next video.

Massasauga’s Bearded Dragon feeding regime starts with greens. They add roasted crickets, which the dragons recognize as food. Then they dust the food with cricket powder + propolis. This ensures that every bite provides a healthy dose of animal protein.

Massasauga Imports supplemented the greens that they feed to their frogs with cricket powder pellets. Results were: record breaking health, weight and population (due to no cannibalization). www.grylloideas.com

Right: frass applied in checkerboard pattern. Left: applied in lines. Three benefits of frass: all plants (not just grass) become thicker, all become darker green, and they grow faster. Drought resistance comparison coming soon.

Here we are laying out the checkerboard grid lines. Apply 500g of frass per square meter. Within 48-72 hours after it rains you will see a noticeable difference. The grass will turn darker green and will quickly grow to be taller than surrounding grass. #cricketfrass #thegoodshit www.thegoodshit.farm

Plant immune boost. Bloom enhancer. All natural.
Frass is a by-product of the cricket farming industry. It is a mix of their shells and excrement. When this mixture is added to soil, it can benefit crops by tricking the plant into thinking it is under attack. This in turn makes the crop grow fuller, and stronger.

Once an urban agriculture project in the first year of studies at the University of Toronto’s Master of Architecture program,
today, Third Millennium Farming has grown into the size of a small design firm, that operates North America’s first edible insect farm combined with a design studio.

#tbt to our Cricket Reactor!
The Cricket Reactor is a household countertop cricket farm that radically reduces the footprint of meat production by utilizing domestic bio-wastes, such as food scraps and yard waste, as feed for farming edible crickets.
The Cricket Reactor is currently not available, but stick around it may be soon!

Welcome to our facility!

We run a 3200 square foot urban edible insect farm in Toronto, Ontario. We are an experimental farm combined with a design studio striving to bring profit and improved methods of farming to our clients. We operate in a design/build/test/repeat cycle.
Not only are we the first edible cricket farm to have municipal approval in terms of zoning but we are able to compete financially with other urban services, proving it can be done in an urban setting,- ultimately, decentralizing farming. We are constantly working to improve our services all while producing crickets for the Food and pet industry.
