A cricket farm? The Cricket Lady gives us a FARM TOUR

Have you ever thought about the are people who farm crickets? In fact, there are two different markets -- food grade for use in snacks and in protein powders is very different from the live insect market that grows crickets for use as bait.
That's what got us on the farm with Shelby Smith in Ankeny, Iowa aka ‪@BuildingInASmallTown‬
This video shows a look around the farm -- it's definitely different from other livestock operations I've seen! A 45 minute podcast will be up on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, but get a preview here now with the video!
