Sonoma Organic Black Soldier Fly Larvae are fast becoming the favorite chicken treat of back-yard and industrial farmers alike. Mealworms have long been the industry standard, but are almost universally sourced from overseas, and often come with high lead and arsenic contents, and tend to be sub-standard nutritionally with no calcium component at all -- a vital nutrient necessary for strong eggshells.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae are famous for increased gut health, increased skin health, higher egg production, healthier eggshells and lower infant mortality rates in poultry, aquaculture, swine, and even cattle. BSFL protein is increasingly replacing soybeans as the dominant protein in pet foods, as it is superior in both its nutritional value as well as its environmental impact - 1 acre dedicated to raising BSFL can generate the same protein as 1 hectare of soybeans, and it can do so using existing food waste.

​

BSFL can also be separated into BSFL oil and defatted BSFL. Like coconut oil, BSFL oil can be used as a skin-care treatment, biodiesel application, and even a sustainable aviation fuel. Meanwhile, defatted BSFL can be used in pet-food applications as a superior protein to soybeans.
