PRAIRIE CRICKET FARMS

The first question everyone asks is "Where did you get such an idea?" Well, when Ryan heard from his dad that people in the world are eating crickets as a protein source, his naturally ambitious attitude led him to wonder if he could start a cricket farm in his basement. Lesley thought he was crazy but went along with it. Her involvement in the cricket farm was minimal for the first couple of years; mostly questioning Ryan's end-game, waking him in the night to go find the noisy, escaped crickets AND refusing to actually eat a cricket.
