Crikorama
Your alternative protein source to meat
Crikorama's a compact cricket farming system designed for home use. It enables individuals to "Grow - Breed - Harvest - Repeat" their own crickets as a sustainable and eco-conscious source of protein. This all-in-one machine supports the entire lifecycle of crickets, from infancy to adulthood. Users can feed the crickets with kitchen leftovers. The machine operates on a continuous cycle, making it easy to harvest them and restart the cycle with the eggs laid by the previous generation. Crikorama offers a sustainable alternative to industrial livestock farming, reducing greenhouse gas emission.
