Fluker Farms

Fluker Farms is a Port Allen, Louisiana, reptile-food company with roots back to 1956. It started as Fluker's Cricket Farm and still centers on feeder insects, reptile diets, and habitat supplies rather than conventional dog-and-cat products. That makes it a niche listing, but a useful one: reptile keepers need clean, fresh food sources too.

We verified the company through its LinkedIn profile, which lists Fluker's Cricket Farm as privately held, founded in 1956, and headquartered in Port Allen. The company also describes CEO Dave Fluker sharing the family-business story from the 1950s. Fluker's own site uses the line "From Our Family Farm To Your Pet," and its shipping page documents active ecommerce fulfillment for live feeder orders. We found no corporate parent, acquisition record, or exclusion-list match.

The catalog includes live crickets, mealworms, superworms, dubia roaches, flightless fruit flies, canned insects, freeze-dried feeders, reptile diets, calcium supplements, bedding, bowls, and habitat care items. For Clean Directory, the strongest fit is the live and minimally processed food side of the business. A cricket raised and shipped for reptile nutrition is a cleaner choice than mystery pellets with a long ingredient panel.

Reptile care can get oddly opaque fast. Labels are small, ingredient panels are dense, and many shoppers end up buying whatever the chain store stocks. A direct farm source gives owners a clearer starting point, especially when fresh feeders are the main diet. The prepared products still deserve label-by-label review.

There are limits. Fluker Farms is bigger and more established than many brands we list, and not every product in the catalog is equally minimal. We would start with the live feeders and simple feeding supplies, then read labels on prepared diets and supplements.

Still, the ownership trail is clear enough to include. Independent, Louisiana-based, long-running, and useful for a category that rarely gets clean-brand attention.
