Obie’s BSFL are locally raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We don’t import expensive feedstock for our insects, we use pre-consumer organics from sources like local breweries, to feed and grow our black soldier fly larvae. The result is a protein that isn’t just sustainable, it’s also a nutritious staple for our insectivore pets and yours.
Obie's large BSFL are available in the following quantities: 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000.
Usually love my obies. But I normally order in 500. This time I thought I would try 1000 and sadly. Majority of the container arrived dead. In the future I'll stick to ordering 500 for arrival quality

Always fantastic service- arrives quickly, in good shape and the service is so responsive, if any questions or issues (rare, but great to know if there is). Really love dealing with this company.

Highly recommend
I have a subscription for a large order of Obies BFSL, that ships every 3 weeks from Nova Scotia to BC within 4 days. The worms arrive as fresh as can be, and are nice and big, and juicy! (my dragons words, not mine). Obies has become a staple in our household. I highly recommend them for your critters - there won't be any complaints!

I’ve been ordering from here for quite a while. They always come well packaged, and alive. No complaints here.
