About

Bugfarm New Zealand is an insectary based in the Far North of New Zealand that caters to those who require high-quality live food for their beloved pets and animals.

We keep our production methods as straightforward and holistic as possible to ensure the insects we produce are as natural and nutritious as can be. We have been operational and raising insects for over 15 years, so you can feel comfortable knowing that we’ve perfected the process of creating nourishing, healthy, nutrient-dense live food.

Sustainability is a priority for us, and we seek to maintain a minimal waste system. In addition to harvesting the mealworms, we harvest their waste (known as mealworm frass) for use as a soil conditioner and are exploring uses for the beetles once they have passed their production peak.

Bugfarm New Zealand utilises local businesses to help support our region whenever possible, while also focusing on our goal to provide New Zealanders with a top-quality product.

We have been supplying individuals, organisations, zoos, parks, and pet shops for many years and have a reliable, ongoing supply of live insects to suit whatever requirements you may have.
