Est 2000

Robert and Helen Dyball commenced snail farming in November 2000 fulfilling a 15 year ‘dream’ to breed and sell Australian farm-fresh, delicious, Escargot to the Australian market and beyond.

Today, they continue to pioneer the Australia Heliculture Industry in producing the country’s foremost domestic supply of fresh Escargot for leading restaurants, caterers, weddings, and lovers of fine food. More >>

Our snails

Snails are fed a strict diet – rich in calcium and other minerals to ensure a toxin free, healthy, plump and (did we already say?) delicious Escargot. More >>
