23.01.2022 We thought we should pop in and say HELLO since it has been rather a long time since we were last in the socials game. 2020 is certainly shaping up to be quite a year and we have to be honest our TCB side hustle has virtually been put to one ‘side’ as we have dealt with this crazy COVID-19 kind of life. The good news is we are now getting ready to dust ourselves off, the wheels of start-up life are about to roll into motion once more. Yes, we have dabbled and done a few bits... and bobs on FB & Insta before, but to be honest we haven’t really done it with much gusto. But that's about to change. As a niche food start-up we know how important it is to find our ‘people’ so here we are ready to mingle. We are really excited to properly introduce you to our business and our tasty wares.

21.01.2022 Hi, this is us. Ruth and Cath. It’s nice to put a face to a name. We officially launched the Cricket Bakery in 2018. I say officially, I had been experimenting and cooking with with insects for a couple of years, after searching for a more sustainable and healthy source of protein to feed the family. I was blown away by the environmental and health benefits and this inspired me to try and persuade more people to do the same. A meeting of... minds at the school gates (where all the best ideas are born) brought Cath and I together. We were both passionate about feeding our family a nutrient-dense diet. Cath has been diagnosed as celiac in her 20’s and had been on a lifelong quest to support this lifestyle without sacrificing her health or tastebuds. United by this shared passion we set out on our mission to change peoples perception of insects as food. #community #business #northernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #foodbusiness #thecricketbakery #startup #futurefood #insectprotein #educationispower #cricketprotein #protienpowder #superfood #yucktoyum #cleaneating #celiac #glutenfree #healthyfood #buildingbusiness #sydneybusinessowmers #wholefoodfooddiet #wholefoodie #bakingbusiness See more

20.01.2022 The perfect post exercise breakfast!

20.01.2022 Cath has been introducing lots of lovely people to eating insects all day! Cath was diagnosed as being Coeliac over 20 years ago and brings her passion for all things #glutenfree and #wholefood to everything we do. She is passionate about good quality, healthy gluten free foods. Quite often when gluten or dairy is removed it is replaced with a lot of sugar or weird artificial ingredients that can easily lead to inflammation and a different set of symptoms.... That is why The Cricket Bakery is so passionate about keeping our products clean, only using wholefood ingredients and boosting our products with protein and the nutrients that crickets bring. Clean, green and hopping good for people and planet. #glutenfree #dairyfree #goodgutbacteria #wholefood #wholefoodingredients #eatclean #eatwelllivewell #nogmo #paleo #insectprotein #cricketprotein #protein #coeliac #prebiotic #probiotic #insect #proteinpowder #glutenfreebaking #coeliac #coeliacdiet #glutenfreeexpo See more

17.01.2022 So it is Christopher Columbus’s fault we find eating insects ‘weird’. As we have always talked about, it starts with the kids. We see it at the markets, the kids just get stuck in while often the parents look on in horror. As adults we need to set the example. Insects are just an alternative source of protein. A healthier and more environmentally sustainable, even beneficial source of protein. ... #notweird https://www.google.com.au//eating-insects-entomophagy.amp.

15.01.2022 We love hearing our customers give honest feedback. There is no doubt crickets’ are still very much a 'niche' ingredient and of course there is the novelty factor. But you know whatwe are fine with novelty for now. Our mission is to move beyond this and make this protein-packed food a pantry staple. Until then we just want as many people to try our products, share them with their friends, and start the conversation. Small steps mean that over time this will become a new ‘norm’ and that’s exciting

15.01.2022 I love this picture. Not only because it has my handsome 8 year old in it, but it makes me miss TCB’s ‘market life’. I think this was the last market we did towards the end of 2019. I can honestly say Ruth and I have had some of our best laughs experiencing life as market traders. "It's a whole new world" we would often saywe genuinely loved meeting and chatting to so many different people. True, we often felt like a double act, the ‘two mad cricket ladies’ but we met so man...y genuinely interesting people and we learnt so much from our fellow traders who were happy to impart their years of knowledge to a couple of women having a crack at start-up life. Yep it was a killer sometimes getting up before the crack of dawn, sneaking out of the house but there was something definitely Thelma & Louise about our little market adventures. It ain’t glamourous that’s for sure, loading and unloading a tonne weight gazebo and boxes and boxes of stock, but our sense of achievement of sitting back in our camping chairs at the end of a day with a shared Florentine looking at our sales would put us on a high for hours. Our hourly rate might not have looked too great for the effort put in, but the excitement of the possibilities was priceless to us.
