The Happy Pear: Secrets to Joyful Health

COMMUNE
About this episode

The Happy Pear started in 2004 when identical twins Steve and Dave opened a small produce shop in their Irish hometown with the dream of helping people to eat more vegetables. Their many plant-based businesses have come a long way since then, but they still focus on simple delights: eating great vegan food, swimming in the ocean at sunrise, and staying deeply involved in their families and local community. If you want to know what makes for joyful health and longevity, this happy pair is a good place to start.
