What if soil could feed itself better? 🌱

Black Soldier Fly frass isn’t just compost. It’s a microbe-rich, slow-release fertilizer that boosts plant health and reduces the need for chemicals.

Curious how it works? See the science in action at www.futureacresfarm.com or visit us at your local market.

Recent batch of 50 trays - real world results! Composting 1,000 lbs of food waste with BSFL gets me between 20-30 bags of frass and easily over 100 lb of fully grown BSFL. That amount would feed 1,000 chickens! What makes it better is we can do 8 pallets at a time, with 50 trays each. So a full container in 10 days would compost 8,000 lb of food waste, fill ~200 bags of frass, and feed 8,000 chickens!
