Mealworm Mills - Welcome to one of the best online portals for mealworms for sale. We’re Mealworm Mills. The “we”, is made up of, Travis (myself), my wife Jessica and my best and oldest friend Daniel. After retiring from the military and a brief stint in defense contracting, I decided to move to the country for a more peaceful life. My wife and myself were looking for a way to supplement our homestead fowl’s diet with affordable nutrients. We learned quickly that the supply of live mealworms and superworms was unreliable, often finding stores and online shops out of stock so we began farming our own to provide for our flock.
After some time farming for ourselves, we realized we had the means and know-how to farm on a larger scale so we could offer a reliable option of live insects to you too. After about a year, a lot more worm racks and beetle bins later we are now a full production mealworm farm.
We love mealworms and superworms as a regular part of our flocks diet. But birds aren’t the only ones these worms are good for. They make excellent live fishing bait, no fancy lures needed when you have a live worm squirming on the end of the hook. This appeals to me in particular because I like to drop a line, sit back and let the worm do the work. If you have omnivorous mammals like sugar gliders, rats, mice or hamsters, mealworms can be incorporated into a snack regime, or be a staple part of a balanced diet.
Carnivorous and omnivorous reptiles and amphibians also enjoy live insects as a staple part of their diet and the opportunity for them to hunt is as fulfilling for them as it is for us to watch. Mealworms are an amazingly versatile food source but that wasn’t the only appeal. Sustainability is very important to us, most sources of protein intended for human or animal consumption take up a lot of space. Acres and acres of land are dedicated to producing food, but mealworms provide a reliable source of fat, protein and other nutrients with a negligible ecological footprint. Live mealworms contain about 62% moisture, 20% protein, 13% fat and 3.1% carbohydrates in addition to other micronutrients.
Just as our flocks health is important to us, so is the health of our mealworms. We provide a nutritional diet to our live insects, organic feed that contains all of the macronutrients for the worms’ optimal growth and they are hydrated using only natural sources of moisture from fruits, vegetables and other safe to consume food. We stand behind our quality.
