Sonoma Organic (www.sonoma-organic.com) is a Sonoma-County-Based Black Soldier Fly Larvae company that takes top-quality pre-consumer food waste destined for landfills, and redirects it to our Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) to produce industry-leading live and dried larvae, as well as BSFL frass, an incredible soil amendment that has a chitin component which not only feeds vegetables and plants, but provides natural pest-repellence!
We offer neonates to farms looking to run their own BSFL operations - breeding soldier flies is hard, and generating eggs and neonates is our specialty. Let us focus on the production of neonates so you can simply apply them to your green waste and reap the benefits!
We also offer live larvae as a feed for chickens and other poultry.
Our dried BSFL is a favorite in the industry, and we have links to reviews on our website if you'd like to read what people across the country are saying about our larvae! We do not microwave, and we do not feed our larvae garbage or manure (unlike other providers) so our nutrient content is second to none. Our larvae are plump and golden and are FAR superior to mealworms, which are often loaded with heavy metals that are toxic to poultry, as well as the people that eat them.
Our BSFL frass is an incredible soil amendment, with a 4-3-4 NPK ratio, and contains sheddings of larval skin which is loaded with chitin. When plants consume chitin, the plant thinks it's being attacked by pests, and expects its leaves to be compromised, triggering growth hormones to produce more leaves! It also results in plants generating chitinase, an enzyme that pervades the entire plant so that, when an actual insect bites the plant, the chitinase literally dissolves the jaws of the attacking insect! Chitinase is harmless to humans and animals, but is a natural process that plants contain to defend themselves. Feeding your plants our frass will help them grow, and protect themselves. It is an incredible soil rejuvenator for wineries as well!
We have TONS of both frass and BSFL, and are shipping truckloads of both all across the country. We are still relatively unknown in the region however, and are working hard to build our presence in the North Bay, as well as all of California! Our products can be found in local feed stores across the area (we prefer local shops to big faceless chains that only sell low quality foreign mealworms), but we also sell direct -- items purchased off our website can often be delivered locally, and we offer free shipping across the USA. We can also deliver totes and truckloads of our products in bulk - please email or call for details.
We would love to partner with farms all over CA, and we also offer consulting on how you can establish your own very simple, very manageable BSFL operation on your own farm. Create natural fertilizer and natural chicken treats out of your own green waste!
