Why Choose Black Soldier Fly?

The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense insects. Raised on upcycled plant-based waste, these larvae are a sustainable alternative to traditional animal proteins and are packed with:

  • Bioavailable calcium (2.5–5%) for shell, scale, and bone development

  • Lauric acid (MCFAs) to support gut health and natural immunity

  • Antimicrobial peptides and trace minerals that promote resilience and vitality

  • High digestibility, making them ideal for species with sensitive digestion

Our BSF are gently microwave-dried, not oven-roasted, to preserve vital nutrients and ensure long shelf life without any artificial additives.

Sustainably Made. Naturally Wild.

Brook & Hollow is proudly crafted with planet health in mind. From sourcing to processing to packaging, every part of the product is designed to support circular agriculture and reduce waste:

  • Our larvae are grown in certified biofactories that upcycle clean, plant-based food waste.

  • Drying is energy-efficient, and moisture is kept below 10% for freshness.

  • Packaging is resealable, kraft-based, and lined for long-term feed storage.

What you feed your animals matters—not just for them, but for the earth we share.

How to Use
