Episode #11, Snail Farming Opportunities and Challenges

This is the snail farming episode where I share some of the very interesting facts I’ve learned about snails as food, rules about snail farming in the United States, plus snails as the subjects of research and as ingredients in miraculous health products. Snail farming, aka heliciculture, has a long history going back thousands of years. The business opportunities today are real, and small farmers around the world are starting to notice. Snails are a sustainable protein, very much bioavailable to humans and with anti-inflammatory properties.
