Snail Farm
In 2010 we pioneered biological snail farming in Bulgria for the purposes of the cosmetics industry. Situated in Plovdiv Province, the farm takes up an area of 32,300 sq. ft. where over 1,000,000 snails of the North African snail species Helix Aspersa Maxima are raised. We chose this particular snail species because they produce the highest quality snail slime for cosmetic products.
To guarantee always the best quality and yield of the slime for the cosmetics industry, we have patented the slime extraction process with Utility Model Certificate issued by the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria.
Our snails enjoy premium lifelong care. We feed them with specially developed forage rich in vitamins. A computer system sees to their general comfort and sprinkles water at regular intervals. In the winter, while snails are dormant, we take care of them in a special temperature-controlled chamber, suited to their needs, while at spring they feed freely on the field or reproduce in a specially developed reproductive chamber.
All year round, we collect their slime manually without causing them the slightest harm. We never employ machines in the slime-extracting process because keeping them alive is of utmost importance to us. Get to know our ethical trading code better now.
