3 Cricketeers creates gourmet chocolate treats, caramel popcorn, and savory, crunchy snacks made with our US-raised, food-grade crickets at our facility in Minneapolis, MN. Our mission is to introduce the world to this planet-friendly alternative protein One delicious bite at a time! Now, you can hop in and do the same with our high-quality and versatile ingredients: Pure Cricket Powder, Simply Roasted Crickets, and our frozen crickets!
Founders Chad and Claire Simons got the bug after their son brought home a cricket cookie from school on Earth Day. Not long after, they launched 3 Cricketeers in a 700 square foot storage space. Local curiosity turned into national interest, and now we work with restaurants, universities, attractions, and retailers all across the country. Please visit our booth at this show to learn how to cook with insects! We are proud to announce that we are collaborating with Brookly Bugs and would love to show you how Chef Joseph Yoon is helping people around the world learn to cook with bugs!
We’re unlike “novelty” insect candy vendors you may be familiar with. As a mission-driven company, we’re not trying to gross anyone out or dare you to try something you won’t like. Instead, our products lead with delicious ingredients and hand-crafted quality, and we use crickets to enhance the flavor and texture of classic treats customers already love. You’ll even find our crickets at James Beard Award-winning restaurants and atop truffles at fine chocolatiers. Our products are small batch, and made with our regeneratively farmed crickets. We use locally sourced ingredients, Rainforest Alliance certified chocolate, and organic popcorn. We pride ourselves on customer service and, with low case minimums, we're easy to try out. 3 Cricketeers: Good for you, good for the planet.
