Molluscs and Me is a celebration of the Kent countryside and a story of how fulfilment can come from an unusual source. Without acres of land, Helen decides to start an edible snail farm in her spare bedroom. In the face of prejudice, she searches for a market for her escargots and does everything she can to get her snails into the public eye and onto their plates, from farmers markets and visiting local schools to inviting TV cameras into her home. But when the snails refuse to lay eggs, will Helen have to admit defeat? When small furry animals move in to dine on escargots au naturel, will Freddie and Dusty the ferrets save the day?
