Recognizing the ongoing necessity for sustainable organics & global food securities, Mason Mckay had the concept for what would be now Exoterra
In late 2014 while active with the U.S Navy, our mission led to trekking the Umphang wildlife sanctuary in northern Thailand,  this area is known for its dense
tropical jungles and hostile environment. As our mission led on we faced a dire problem of running out of food, clean water, and sanity.

Quickly facing a survival situation, we quickly figure out what needed to be done to make it through it. That night as we made fire, we noticed an abundance
of insects that would gather towards the flames. Seeking warmth, many of the insects would get too close and ended up roasting themselves. Ironically this was also the night our food supply ran out. As our hunger grew, we had little choice but to get our proteins from both organic plants & insects....thus our idea began. As we began consuming insects (crickets, scorpions,termites & meal worms) along with native plant species, we noticed an almost instantaneous synergy within our bodies. Our energy levels, stamina and overall mental clarity was dramatically improved. The next morning our bodies were feeling replenished enough to make it out of the jungle. This than started the concept of ExoTerra.
