The Bug Farm or Dr Beynon's Bug Farm is a multipurpose farm and research centre near St Davids, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, run by Dr Sarah Beynon, an entomologist and farmer on her former family farm.[1]

The farm aims to look into nature recovery and sustainable farming practices,[2] and in particular the use of bugs within agriculture including as a form of sustenance. The farm also has publicly accessible venues such as a museum, art gallery, garden, bug zoo, and the Grub Kitchen with chef Andy Holcroft which serves insect based dishes.[3] These include recreations of popular dishes such as burgers as well as insects which remain in an identifiable state.[4] Both Beynon and Holcroft featured in the 2017 BBC documentary "The Bug Grub Couple".[5]

Insects for consumption are sourced from Canada and the Netherlands which have legal guidelines for insect farming practices which the United Kingdom lacks.[6]

During 2025–26 the farm is running a National Lottery Heritage Fund Nature Networks Fund project to connect up wildlife habitats across the St Davids peninsula and reduce the impact of dog spot-ons[clarification needed] and livestock wormers on local Pembrokeshire soils and waters.[7]
