He and his wife Linda wanted to work with the sort of animal that was small, sustainable to produce, and slow enough to keep up with - and they manged to find exactly the right one! Here’s the story of the ‘slow food’ business they began. #EscargotDay

This is great.
I got inspired to snail farm through a CZcams video and I must say the journey is interesting especially when it comes to nurturing the snails from day one and also distributing it.
This is why I too, farm escargot.
I caught some and put them in a tank to breed to feed my pet lizard haha (blue tongue skunk) I’ve got tons of babies now, just have to wait till they grow
never try before but look yum.
Want to grow them here in Philippines
Where are you based in Australia
@ABC The audio levels on the video are rather low unfortunately
Nice
Yes
"it's the most widely eaten snail in the world." No. They're the most widely eaten LAND snails in the world. In Southern Europe, Milk Snails are eaten on a much larger scale than Brown Garden Snails. Asian Trapdoor Snails are eaten on a much larger scale in East, SE, and South Asia, but They're freshwater aquatic molluscs. Some marine snails, such as shells and conch, are also eaten on a much larger scale worldwide than any land snail.
Hi, I grow the African giant snail. Some of them can be upto 6 inches long. We have about 20,000 of them.
Can sell the small ones for good prices.

Yes, a larger proportion of ours have a criminal background. Petty Theft, prostitution that kind of stuff.
What is a "restauranteur"?
Are you referring to 0:43? Guessing they meant 'restaurateur'.
@@abcaustralia Forgive me Aunty, I was being facetious.
Australia's feral snail.
То самое чувство, когда ты рад, что не родился улиткой.
не можа ли на английски да го напишеш т'ва ?
by the way, i sell giant snails.
I live in Tassie... and have plenty of large snails... if they offering 20 cents a snail... That's pocket money for the little ones to put in their piggy banks...
EDIT: they offer 15 cents a snail over 8 grams and live weight. Why lie on the video... you're not selling them for 15 cents each obviously...
Right. I'm sure this old, retired couple had nothing better to do than to make up this entire thing just to lie to you. 🙄
You get paid more when you are capable of sustained quantities. I could probably scoop up a dozen-dozen in my garden area right now-- but then I wouldn't have enough for the following week. Kudos to these folks for finding a sustainable living!
