Set just off a freeway in the hillbilly woods, the farm's location is appealing and then again, it's also what's inside: cockroaches -- tens of millions of them.
Andy Gump is part entomologist, part farmer and chief admirer of the roach burger.
Sixteen years ago, he started farming these critters commercially. Yes, there is a market. The roaches are dried, powdered and mixed with beef to make burger patties for restaurant's in China.

Almost all of his roaches are used in traditional African medicine. He claims they can cure what ails you, from the heart to the brain to the genitals.
He ships over 20 tons of roach powder to African.
