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 day, we came across an article published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations that explained the benefits of edible insects.
One of us is from Mexico, and both having lived there extensively, we’re not new to the idea of incorporating insects into our food. However, we weren’t fully aware of all their benefits. YAY! We found something good for our family and the planet!
After overcoming the challenges of raising our first 500 crickets, it became clear that we wanted to expand our operation and share these benefits with our extended family, friends, and community.
And that’s how it all started…
We are on a mission to produce a nutritious protein alternative that can be obtained in a sustainable way— food that is good for you, your family, and the planet too.
We can’t wait for you to try it and feel empowered to make a positive difference with every bite!
