University student has built a business from his own interest in ant farms
York Region native Zachary Liu said his love for insects began when he was a child, with his mother reading to him by his bedside.
Liu has built the business through high school and his early university life, gathering ants from York Region and beyond. The business has grown, and though Liu said it does not make much profit, it does have about $250,000 in annual sales. The business offers ant colony equipment, and the ants raised to become colonies. Liu said they are also looking to design their own kits that could get to the market and become massively popular.
Liu has kept working throughout his student life. Even now, studying university in Montreal, he said his time gets stretched.“I enjoy the work. I think it’s fun, I think it’s challenging,” Liu said, adding he has got a lot of valuable experience doing this. “I’m getting to negotiate deals with companies internationally … It definitely gives me a lot more opportunities.”
