Thank you, together, we did it!
We are so appreciative to the 505 backers who helped us raise 213% of our goal! With $53,372 in fresh funding, we can bring our project to life!
Now, it's time for us to get down to business. We will immediately begin the production of our flours with our pre-selected production partner. We will also continue with the writing, recipe development and photography for our cookbook. We'll be sending you updates along the way to keep you in the loop and in on the action.
So what's next?
-
Now that the campaign has ended, pledge payments will be processed, please check to make sure your payment method is up to date.
- Shortly, you will receive a Backerkit survey allowing you to submit your delivery information, select your preferred flour(s) and choose any add on items.
- We will continue taking preorders for our cricket flours and cookbook and will provide the link for that shortly as well, so make sure to tell any friends and family who missed out on this round.
But for now, I will leave you with this photo of some cricket bread I baked the other night for a dinner! It came fresh out the oven steaming and was so delicious. This recipe will be on the back of the all-purpose flour and is so easy to make.

You Have Major Deliciousness Waiting For You,
like these pink paleo crepes that @healthnutterbutter made using our Paleo Cricket Flour. And get ready, because in addition to our cookbook, we will feature recipes on our website from users around the world, so you too can share your cricket creations with everyone.
We are oh so close to reaching our $50K stretch goal, and with only 4 days left to go, here are three ways you can pitch in:
-
Increase your pledge. If you've already made a pledge, you can easily increase it and take advantage of some great rewards too, every bit helps.

Phone a friend. A personal touch helps, so if you know someone you think would appreciate our cricket flours and cookbook, let them know
And for now, here is the pink paleo crepe recipe for your enjoyment:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup silk protein nut milk
- 1 cup of Seek Paleo cricket flour
- 1 tbsp beet powder
- Dash salt
Pour all ingredients in bowl and whisk. Heat a small-medium sauce pan on medium heat. Wait till fully hot (test by flicking water on it, should sizzle). Use 1/4 cup and pour batter on pan on angle and move pan around till batter makes circle (it's ok if it's not perfectly, especially at first). Heat for about 15-20 seconds, flip and heat for 10 seconds. Repeat till batter is gone!
You can fill with whatever you want. @healthnutterbutter used coconut yogurt, blueberries and honey in one and peanut butter, bananas, mini chocolate chips and honey in the other!

Calling all New Yorkers, we are having a party and you are invited!
Come cool off with us on August 1st at 6:30 pm at our rooftop pool party at the Williamsburg Hotel! We are excited to get our community together to celebrate the final week of our Kickstarter campaign. All are welcome, so if you have friends who are curious to learn more about the powerful potential of crickets, bring them along.
The press caught wind of our Kickstarter, which is no surprise because we are starting a movement! We are on a mission to improve our health and the planet's. See below for the latest coverage.
Have you shared our campaign with your friends and family yet? We only have 11 days to reach our $50k stretch goal, and if we do, we can offer you a lot more cricket greatness!
