Hola! We are The Green Leap, Michigan’s only urban farm that sustainably raises crickets for human consumption.
We honestly started this journey because of our family. We have dietary restrictions and are constantly looking for healthy, eco-friendly food options. One of us is from Mexico, and both having lived there extensively, we’re not new to the idea of incorporating insects into our diet. However, we weren’t fully aware of all their benefits they offer.
When we moved to the US three years ago, we realized that edible insect products were difficult to find it here. As we searched for alternatives, we came across an article published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations that explained the incredible health and environmental benefits of edible insects.
That was a game-changer! We realized we had found something good for both our family, and the planet.
We decided to give it a try and start raising crickets. After overcoming the challenges of raising our first 500 crickets, we knew we wanted to share these benefits with our extended family, friends, and community.
And that’s how it all started…
Our mission is to offer alternative protein sources that are packed with nutrition. Through our products, we aim to raise awareness of new possibilities for how people nourish themselves and the planet.
We can’t wait for you to try it and feel empowered to make a positive difference with every bite!
