Snail Farming



My Father in Law, R.V. Dick Johnson and I would like to exchange
information with those interested Heliciculture ( escargot snail farming).

Dick just returned from a trip sponsored by the United States Government
to Western Europe.  He was sent there for a month to show them how to
raise, market and ship snails.  He is considered one of the foremost
authorities on the subject in the United States  He has a lot of
information to share with those interested.

We have been raising snails both indoors and outdoors for the past ten
years.  It has become a good business for us.  This year we have delivered
approx. 80,000 snails to distributors and growers.  We have experience
with both greenhouse and outdoor pen growing environments.

If you are considering starting your own growing operation, please e-mail
us with your questions. 

Should you want us to send you materials, our e-mail address is 
frescargot@aol.com.  Or visit our home page which includes some technical
information as well as an anatomy of a snail at

We look forward to hearing from you.
