Sustainable Mealworm Growing Pod Kits Launched by Mustafa Farming
The owners of Mustafa Farming are excited to share some big news. Earlier this year, Mustafa Farming acquired The Bug Factory brand from BeoBia – an innovative, award-winning UK startup. Born from the creative mind of Thomas Constant at BeoBia (meaning “food for life” in Irish Gaelic) and propelled forward by Clayton Payne, The Bug Factory is renowned for its eco-friendly mealworm-growing pods, also known as mealworm growing kits or mealworm farm kits, that transform household waste into nutritious pet food. These stackable mealworm farm starter kits are ideal for anyone looking to try DIY mealworm farming at home, making sustainable pet care more accessible.
“This acquisition perfectly aligns with our passion for sustainability and innovation, empowering pet lovers to grow their own nutritious, eco-friendly treats at home,” says the CEO of Mustafa Farming.

In today’s world, where every step toward sustainability counts, this acquisition marks a bold move toward achieving Mustafa Farming’s goals.
“We want to offer sustainable solutions for backyard poultry and other farm animals along with household pets like lizards, snakes, fish and more. We have a lot of amazing things in the pipeline, so stay tuned.” said the Co-CEO of Mustafa Farming.
By acquiring The Bug Factory brand, Mustafa Farming is combining its poultry and farming expertise with innovative mealworm-growing pods, a system praised for its sleek design, eco-friendly features, and clever method of converting food waste into valuable pet food and plant fertilizer. These mealworm farm kits offer a sustainable solution for pet owners and hobby farmers looking to grow their insect-based feed at home.

The Bug Factory’s carefully engineered mealworm growing pods allow users to stack additional mealworm trays for egg collection & odor-managing filters to create a steady supply of mealworms right at home without a strong smell. These pods offer a cost-effective alternative to purchasing mealworms every time your pets need a treat. Plus, since they are manufactured from 100% recycled fridge plastic, you’re not only turning food scraps into pet treats and plant fertilizer but also saving the planet.
“Our team here at Mustafa Farming is excited to grow The Bug Factory brand globally both online and in retailers. We believe in BeoBia’s mission and we look forward to collaborating on new innovative products and projects with them in the future,” added the CEO of Mustafa Farming.

Their stories emphasize the system’s ease of use, cost savings, and positive environmental impact.
“I am super excited to see Mustafa Farming take The Bug Factory brand forward. Selling our mealworm brand to them ensures its growth with a like-minded partner, while BeoBia LTD continues to innovate in black soldier fly production in the UK. Mustafa Farming not only shares our values but also has the infrastructure to scale The Bug Factory’s vision, and I look forward to seeing them expand sustainable mealworm farming." - Thomas Constant, CEO & Founder of BeoBia.
This acquisition is just the beginning of Mustafa Farming’s journey to become a one-stop farming and poultry shop and to integrate sustainable practices into everyday pet care. By joining forces with The Bug Factory, Mustafa Farming is excited to drive forward solutions that not only simplify pet care but also benefit our planet.
