EscarGrow™ is our patent-pending system for restoring depleted soil, increasing food security, and co-creating sustainable livelihoods. It integrates public health, environmental stewardship, and dignified local economies.

We help rural and underserved communities build ecological and economic resilience by transforming food systems through heliciculture and regenerative agriculture.

Snails are one of Earth’s oldest ecological collaborators; over 500 million years old and among the first animals ever farmed by humans. Across cultures, they’ve long been valued as a nutrient-dense, low-impact protein. Today, their overlooked potential holds relevance for the climate era.

At HHH, we integrate heliciculture through EscarGrow™, a closed-loop system where snails transform food waste into nutrient-rich compost, restore degraded soils, and create pathways for climate and economic resilience.

By reintroducing this ancient food source, we’re not just farming snails; we’re restoring ecosystems, honoring heritage, and designing infrastructure for a more just and sustainable future. 🐌🌿

Funding directly supports the deployment and operation of EscarGrow units. Allocations include:

EscarGrow™ builds & equipment: ~50–60% (materials, fabrication, solar systems, sensors, snail habitats)

Education & workforce training: ~20% (curriculum development, apprenticeships, STEM programming)

Community partnerships & outreach: ~10% (stipends for local partners, site setup, workshops)

Administration & compliance: ~10% (staff salaries, insurance, reporting, audits)

Every grant is tracked against specific deliverables (e.g. “X tons of waste diverted” or “Y students served”) and reported back to funders.

HHH is at a catalytic stage: patent-pending technology, early partnerships established. Funders have the chance to:

﹒Seed a solution with global relevance

﹒Shape a replicable model for food waste diversion and climate action

﹒Leverage every $1 into ~$3–$5 of environmental and social return (based on SROI/IMM analysis)

Early supporters become anchor partners whose backing will be credited in national replication.

Yes. 🧠💡 Funders are essential co-creators in building a circular, resilient future. Whether you support regenerative ag, workforce development, or scalable climate tech, EscarGrow™ offers measurable outcomes and replicable models. Let’s align capital with systems change.

🔑 What happens after the grant period ends?
We follow a continuation model built around earned revenue + diversified funding:

Earned revenue: modest nonprofit income from compost, escargot protein, snail mucin, EscarGrow™ kit sales, and service contracts (e.g. waste diversion fees).

Ongoing grants & sponsorships: continued alignment with climate, food security, biodiversity, and STEM funders.

Partnership contributions: host sites (schools, farms, municipalities) contribute space, utilities, and sometimes operational cost-share.

This blended model reduces dependence on any one source and allows each EscarGrow™ site to become increasingly self-sustaining over time.

Heliciculture is the science and art of raising snails for food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soil regeneration.

With EscarGrow™, we use it as an engine for equity: combining sustainable farming, biodiversity conservation, and workforce development to nourish people and planet alike.

Yes! Snails have one of the lowest ecological footprints of any animal protein. They require minimal water, space, and feed; and produce almost no methane.

Our methods take it even further: we use food waste as feed inputs, compost snail byproducts, and integrate native plants into farming systems. This supports healthy soil, pollinators, and long-term ecological balance.

Absolutely. 🌿🚛 EscarGrow™ Pro helps restaurants turn food waste into regenerative power. By feeding your kitchen scraps to snails and compost modules, your leftovers become soil, clean protein, and local impact. Plus, we’ll track your carbon savings and community contribution.

🐌📦 Join the Loop

Yes! ♻️🐌 EscarGrow™ Pro was designed with ranchers in mind; especially those managing overgrazed or underperforming land. Our modular systems convert manure and pasture waste into high-value compost and escargot protein, restoring your soil while diversifying your income.

Start Your Soil Recovery Plan! 🇺🇸

Yes! 🐌🌿 EscarGrow™ Mini and Pro both support school partnerships. We host hands-on heliciculture workshops for K–12, colleges, and community organizations. Programs teach regenerative agriculture, culinary heritage, and green career pathways; planting seeds for the next generation of changemakers.

Sign Up Your School! 🇨🇱

Absolutely! We’re always looking to collaborate with retailers, food innovators, and values-aligned distributors. If you're ready to bring climate-resilient products to your shelves, let’s grow together.

Join Our Network! 🇨🇱

Yes; this system is built to uplift you. 💪🏽🐌 Our mobile units offer paid training in heliciculture, composting, and regenerative practices. Whether you're looking to upskill, start your own system, or co-lead community pilots; we’re here to back your journey.

Join the Movement. Grow with Us. 🚜🌱

Yes; we welcome curious minds, green thumbs, and culture-bearers. Internships and volunteer roles are available in farming, outreach, media, and recipe development. Get in touch to find your fit.

Mama Kuku’s Homestead (MKH) is our pilot site. While HHH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on systems alignment, food equity, and regenerative agriculture, MKH serves as our storytelling vessel, centering rural resilience and land stewardship.

This partnership allows us to braid together grassroots education with systems-level change. MKH brings heart, heritage, and healing, while HHH builds structure, research, and scalable impact. Together, we advance EscarGrow™: a holistic system for ecological and social regeneration.
