Bug Eating Festival

From Little Herds

Back by popular demand!

This year we’re proud to announce that in.gredients will be hosting the Bug Festival for the second year running. Open to the public and free for kids, come check us out Saturday night for your chance to learn about insects as a food for people, food for our pets and feed for our livestock. Try products made with insects, catch a cooking demonstration from a local chef, learn about other Austin nonprofits and catch the Austin premier of an entomophagy documentary!

Tickets can be found here: https://secure.processdonation.org/littleherds/events.aspx?eventRefID=935G56J66F9493A

We’ll also have our second annual Ento Raffle with buggy prizes donated by supporting businesses, all benefiting Little Herds.

Bring your friendly pooch (please keep on leash) out and let them taste-test a new cricket based dog food launching soon!
