Nick Hewer begins his quest to save small farms with the Harrisons, who have a 90-acre farm near Greyabbey, on the Ards Peninsula. The Harrisons are planning to invest nearly half a million pounds to turn their small plant nursery into an eighty seat restaurant and farm shop. With three sons eager to inherit they are risking everything. However, Nick is concerned about their lack of retail experience and remote location. Their refusal to open on Sundays is another controversial point.
