Transforming Waste into Sustainable Solutions.
Founder Vincent Ajayi started Uptake Farms to tackle one of the U.S.’s biggest challenges: food and agricultural waste. Drawing on his experience running a self-sustaining Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farm in Nigeria, Vincent saw how BSF could rapidly break down organic waste, cut down on bacteria and odor, and reduce greenhouse emissions. Now, he brings that expertise to Uptake Farms in Sonoma County, CA – transforming waste into sustainable, nutrient-rich animal feed and insect frass.

Sustainable Solutions with Black Soldier Flies.
Turning Waste into Sustainable Feed for a Greener Future.
Waste Reduction.
Black Soldier Flies convert diverse organic waste—from food scraps to agricultural residues—into valuable resources.
Sustainable Feed.
Our larvae provide a high-protein, eco-friendly alternative to traditional feeds like fishmeal and soy.
Nutrient-Rich Insect Frass.
BSF frass, a natural byproduct, is rich in nutrients that support healthy plant growth.
Lower Carbon Footprint.
BSF farming is earth-friendly, reducing greenhouse gases compared to traditional organic waste methods.
