Simply put: snail farming. We raise snails for both ecological soil health and high-quality skincare processing. It’s a quiet, fascinating, and highly efficient way to build a circular economy.

Texas. Cornu aspersa — the same species served in the finest French restaurants in Dallas and Fort Worth — has been naturalized in Texas soil for over 150 years!

Our founding colony was sourced locally, right here in Hood County. We didn't import an exotic species. We recognized the value in what was already here and designed a system worthy of it.

Community-Supported Agriculture

When you reserve a founding harvest share, you are not placing a retail order. You are joining the cohort of people who believed in this farm before the first egg was collected, before the first escargot was purged, before the first jar of caviar was sealed.

MKH operates on the Community Supported Agriculture model — one of the oldest and most trusted structures in farming. Your deposit holds your place at the founding price. If your reserved product is not available by the listed date for any reason, your deposit is refunded in full. No exceptions, no questions.

Pickup is local — Granbury, Texas. You will hear from us directly when your product is ready.

1. Choose your product and pay a deposit. Deposits are applied in full to your purchase price at pickup.

2. We contact you when your product is ready. You will receive a pickup window notice by email before each harvest. You choose your pickup date.

3. Pick up in Granbury, TX. All MKH products are local pickup only. Fresh from Hood County to your hands.

Both. It is a tiered stewardship community. While it functions as a working homestead for snails, poultry, and skincare, it serves as the primary testing ground for Helical Healing Habitat’s (HHH) regenerative technologies. When you learn at MKH, you are engaging with HHH’s research in real-time.

It means we don’t just live on the land; we care for it. Every member, from one-day visitors to core members, plays a role in the regenerative cycle of the homestead.

We are actively recruiting for our first Apprentice slot in August 2026. Soon, you can find us on WWOOF USA or Workaway, or send us a direct message with a brief intro about your interests.

Not necessarily. While a foundation in agriculture or building is helpful, we value a "bias toward action" and a willingness to learn biocycle systems, from snail husbandry to hyperadobe construction.

Think of Helical Healing Habitat (HHH) as the research and education partner, and Mama Kuku's Homestead (MKH) as the working demonstration site. HHH designs and operates the learning programs; MKH handles farm operations. They are separate, collaborating organizations.
