The Artisan Founder

In this episode, I chat with David and Stephen Flynn, The Happy Pear, about their 20-year journey promoting healthy eating.
We discuss their beginnings in a small vegetable shop and how their mission has expanded into cafes, a bakery, and a regenerative farm.
They share insights from their new book, “20: Recipes and Learnings from the First 20 Years,” and emphasise the importance of community connection and adaptability, especially during challenges like the COVID pandemic.
This conversation celebrates their enduring impact on healthy eating and their vision for future growth into the UK and US.
