## Resource

For 70 years, Fluker Farms in Port Allen has turned a humble fishing bait idea into America’s largest live cricket operation—shipping 3,000 to 4,000 orders every Monday, with production lines churning out 50,000 units daily. These crickets now feed reptiles nationwide and are sold everywhere from online retailers to big-box stores. Operating in a climate-controlled warehouse at 90 degrees, they hand-pack everything as the critters’ short lives demand constant turnover. It’s a tight-knit local business, with most workers living nearby—and they’re just getting started, planning two new buildings by next year.
