  like to say\, are a super bug\, digesting waste that ordinarily has low o
 r no value. Our insect-protein production platform converts mealworms and 
 their waste into high-value proteins\, oils\, and nutrients for agricultur
 e. The opening of our flagship facility in Cashmere\, WA marks the establi
 shment of North America’s largest mealworm hatchery\, producing insect pro
 tein and organic insect manure (frass).\n\nDoors open at 6:30pm for commun
