This Maggot Farm has been in our family for generations
Maggots are bred commercially, as a popular bait in angling, and a food for carnivourous pets such as reptiles or birds. Due to the increasing popularity of maggots, a maggot vending machine has been installed in the English county town of Northampton.

(Maggot) Farm-Aid was a big failure. It's hard to get a grassroots community organzation to help save the struggling local maggot businesses.
In the United States, Medical Maggots are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as a prescription only medical device. With acceptance of premarket notification 510(k) 033391 in January of 2004, the Food and Drug Administration granted Dr. Ronald Sherman permission to produce and market maggots for use in humans or other animals as a prescription use medical device for the following indications:
"For debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers and non-healing traumatic or post surgical wounds."
Medical Maggots represent the first living organism ever allowed by the modern Food and Drug Administration for production and marketing. Currently, there are over 350 health care centers in the United States that have utilized maggot therapy.
