Who we are
About the farm
In Largitzen, in the Sundgau in Alsace, we have been running our snail farm since September 2014: in about 1,000 m² of open-air pens covered with vegetation we raise 3–5 tonnes of "Gros Gris" snails (Helix aspersa maxima) a year, fed with GMO-free cereals and minerals. We prepare the snails in our own kitchen laboratory, partly with vegetables from our own chemical-free kitchen garden. Our farm shop is open on Fridays from 4 to 6 pm or by appointment, and in summer we welcome you for farm visits and tastings by reservation.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
