Wes and Shari Hughes always had a big dream to run a farm one day but having zero experience, they didn’t know where to start.
Typing “easy farming” into Google, Shari, 37, scrolled down the list until snail farming popped up. She was quickly catapulted back to when husband Wes first won her affections with his quirky cooking.
“Wes used to be a chef, and when we started dating, he’d always try and woo me with impressive and different dishes,” Shari tells Woman’s Day. “Having worked with chefs from France where escargot is an excellent appetiser, he knew how to prepare and cook snails to perfection.”
One evening, he presented Shari with some slippery little suckers for dinner. The garlicky butter aroma filled her nostrils, and with Wes’ assurance that it would taste good, she ate her first snail – and agreed it did!
Shari and 43-year-old Wes realised snailing their way to success could fulfil their farming dreams.
“We both knew how hard it was to get fresh snails Down Under, and tinned ones were no way as good!” Wes, dad to Clay, 13, Daisy, five, and Primrose, three, explains. “That’s when we decided to bring Australiangrown farm fresh escargot to the nation.”
“It was the perfect farming venture,” Shari adds.
