(Reuters) - Snails are seen on a farm that supplies the Greek snail farming company, Fereikos Helix, in the coastal town of Korinthos, some 80 km (50 miles) west of Athens, January 24, 2012. Sisters, Maria and Panagiota Vlachou, set up their first farm in Korinthos and have since managed to expand their business throughout the country. Today Fereikos Helix operates as a family enterprise, aimed at educating young farmers or businessmen who would like to set up their own snail farm. It organises seminars for aspiring farmers, giving a picture of what life looks like when you own and run a snail farm, then buys the snails from the farmers at a pre-agreed price and exports most of them to European countries. In 2011, the company exported 50 percent of their produce to Italy, 20 percent to France and 10 percent to Switzerland. Picture taken January 24, 2012.
