You may have heard of Forked Tree Ranch when this maggot farm was featured on Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs". But their high quality maggots are just the beginning of what they offer at Forked Tree Ranch.
Forked Tree Ranch is one of the largest growers and distributors of live organically grown fishing bait maggots/spikes in the US, providing top quality bait maggots year-round. They also offer blue bottle flies for pollinating purposes, in large and small quantities. Their flies have been used successfully in research seed pollinating, cage pollinating, and on many crops where bee pollinating used to be the norm.

Note: Because this tour will take place in a maggot house which stinks, you will stink after the tour. Masks are available. You may want to shower at home after this tour.
