3 Cricketeers Cricket Frass is an organic fertilizer straight from our farm!
Cricket Frass is made up of cricket droppings and the cricket's exoskeleton.
Benefits of Insect Frass:
- 100% Organic Fertilizer
- Boosts Plants' Immune Response
- Perfect for Indoor, Outdoor And Hydroponic Growing
- NPK ratio: 4-2-2
How Does It Work:
Cricket frass is a balanced fertilizer and bio-stimulant used in all stages of a plant’s development. It’s made from cricket exoskeletons and excrement, which is full of microbial life and chitin. This is exactly what sets it apart from other fertilizers. Chitin stimulates the plant’s defense mechanism leading to better resistance to pests and disease, replenished soil microbe populations, faster maturity and higher yields.
How To Use It:
For best results, pre-mix into a growing media or soil when planting. If plants are already started, mix the cricket frass to water and apply as a root drench. Cricket frass can also be applied as a top dressing, in hydroponic systems, as a foliar spray, and in transplanting holes.

Why eat crickets?
For the health of the planet and our bodies, crickets are the future. An ideal protein source, they have twice as much protein, emit less than 1% of the greenhouse gases, and use less than 0.5% of the water as beef.
Crickets are packed with protein, minerals, and pre-biotic fiber, making them great for your gut health and overall nutrition. While over 80% of the world's population eats insects, it's still uncommon where we're from. That's why we're introducing crickets through delicious chocolate treats and snacks.

What do crickets taste like?
Our food-grade crickets are raised specifically to promote a delicious eating experience, and taste different from any others you may have tried. They have a mild, slightly nutty flavor that reminds people of pumpkin seeds, almonds, and even puffed rice. They pair well with almost any food, but we like them with chocolate, caramel, and spices.
