1. The Idea
A stand-up comedian, a vegan, and a farmer walk into a bar. It's all one person, it's Kiri Pritchard-McLean.
Comedian and farmer’s daughter Kiri Pritchard-McLean owns a smallholding on the island of Ynys Môn. She wants to use the land for good, but because you can’t grow sequins (yet) she needs to come up with a plan b. In this opening episode, Kiri takes her reluctant brother Alistair to a local permaculture festival to get inspiration for their vegan farm.
Written and presented by Kiri Pritchard-McLean
