Our Story

Enabling a resilient, food-secure future.

Oberland Agriscience is Atlantic Canada's premier black soldier fly larvae farm, headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Named after our original mascot Obie, Obie's BSFL is a premium range of BSFL insect protein products produced in our sustainably-operated, zero-waste facility.

Increasing global demand for high-quality, viable protein is putting pressure on the world’s diminishing protein supply. As the global population reaches a record high, fish stocks decrease, and the cost of traditional protein sources increases. People and our pets are using more protein than ever. Filling the escalating need for protein at all levels of the food chain - from aquaculture feed to livestock rearing, as well as pet food - is threatening our fragile resources through overfishing and unsustainable farming practices. That's before you take into account the considerable waste produced.

Oberland Agriscience produces nutritious protein using less land, fewer resources, and creating lower carbon emissions than traditional protein sources. We believe that BSFL is a great ally in confronting the global protein shortage. The amazing power of this insect is its unmatched ability to consume almost any pre-consumer organics and convert it into a protein rich feed source. Oberland processes locally sourced pre-consumer organics into a stable feed to rear the BSFL and produce Obie’s BSFL on an industrial scale, ensuring a steady supply of nutrient-rich products for pet food, livestock feed, and aquaculture feed.
