Our Story
We are responsible to care for the earth. We three Goldin brothers have always been close to nature from our earliest memories in our homeland of South Africa. Our initial connection, and eventual love of the environment stemmed from the example of our father Alan whose respect for the Earth was exemplary. He and our mother Loraine integrated their passion for the Earth into mealtimes, which became not only physically nutritious, but also spiritually profound times of appreciation for the food we shared, the resources that brought it to our table, and for each other. We are grateful to them for setting us on the path of global awareness, and ways to impact others through our service to the Earth. This awareness, and passionate conversation with one another, brought the genesis of Entomo Farms: a response to the need for sustainable and nutritious protein. We are a mission-based, family-run company, valuing integrity, trustworthiness, and accountability above all. We aim to continuously improve our products and offer our customers the utmost transparency into how they are produced and distributed.
Entomo Farms is our commitment to participate in creating a sustainable future. We have taken this step, and hope you come along for the ride.
Our Team
Darren Goldin
Co-Founder
“As a child growing up in South Africa, I was fascinated by wildlife of all kinds and developed an early passion for environmental sustainability. As a young adult I protested against the clear-cutting of old growth forest in British Columbia. And now, I’m turning that passion into a business that can have tremendous impact on the planet by changing the food we eat.”
Laura Metcalf
Vice President of Sales
Laura holds a Master’s degree in animal nutrition from the University of Guelph. She’s a skilled product developer and strategic visionary. Her work in insect agriculture since 2018 has been pivotal to the growth of the farmed insect industry in North America.
“The insect industry is a fascinating space. Fast moving and cutting edge, we’re addressing environmental sustainability, welfare, and providing unique functional ingredients at the same time. I enjoy the opportunity for creative problem solving and the close relationships I have with my clients.”
When she’s not at work, Laura is an avid outdoor adventurer, animal lover, and green thumb. The West Coast mountains are her home and playground.
