About Ajoke:

In 2016, Ajoke Lawon set up a small snail pen in her student apartment, shortly after graduating from The Polytechnic, Ibadan.

Today, Joks serves thousands of customers across Nigeria and ships worldwide. Ajoke has trained and mentored thousands of farmers, turned snail shell waste into calcium supplements, and built a business that lives up to its own tagline: Beyond Snail Farming.
