Canberra Organic Growers Society

We have set up a business for my son Ronnie who has an intellectual disability and severe epilepsy (www.ronniessucculentsnails.com.au)
Ronnie grows and breeds snails and when they meet the industry standards in terms of size and colour we sell them to the commercial grower who prepares them for the restaurant market.

Could you please circulate this message amongst your members? All people need to do is collect the snails, put them in a container with holes in it and contact us via this email address.

We would very much appreciate the opportunity to help growers get rid of their snail problem!

Thanks very much

Mirinda Lawrence (mum)
