The Bug Farm
Food for thought - the insect farm and visitor attraction in Pembrokeshire that's bridging the gap between science, farming and food.
Located just outside St Davids, in Pembrokeshire, the Bug farm is a visitor attraction with a difference. Founded by Dr Sarah Beynon an academic entomologist, ecologist and farmer and her partner, chef Andy Holcroft - together they're on a mission to enthuse people about insects. Food, farming, research and conservation are equally important strands for an otherwise traditional farm. They don't actually farm bugs on a commercial scale, rather their farming practices, including a herd of Welsh black cattle, arable crops and rich wildlife meadows all helps and informs, their research into tackling issues of sustainability in the food chain.
