Armstrongs Cricket Farm specializes in the breeding and supply of various live food options, primarily focusing on crickets, mealworms, superworms, and hornworms. The company has a long-standing legacy, having been established in 1947 by Tal Armstrong, who is credited with pioneering the cricket industry. The flagship product, the Acheta domesticus cricket, is marketed as the "Original Cricket." This particular species is known for its soft exoskeleton, making it easily digestible, and it is high in protein, which is beneficial for reptiles, poultry, and pets. The Acheta domesticus is also recognized for its appealing odor and color, and it has been approved by the FDA as a safe food source for reptiles, allowing for worldwide shipping.

In addition to crickets, Armstrongs Cricket Farm offers a variety of sizes and types of crickets, including adult, juvenile, and pinhead crickets, catering to different feeding needs. The company emphasizes the importance of maintaining a bio-safe environment to preserve the purity of the Acheta domesticus, ensuring that their products are not only nutritious but also safe for consumption by pets and other animals. This commitment to quality and safety has made Armstrongs a trusted name among zoos, fishermen, and pet owners alike, who seek reliable sources of live feed.
