The rise of Happy Pear

The Happy Pear started in 2004 as a small vegetable shop in Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland, where the twins are from. 

The brand subsequently expanded into a café and bakery in Greystones, and it has since sold 15 million units of plant-based food products. 

As well as these, The Happy Pear offers online courses on plant-based living, a recipe club, six cookbooks, a coffee roastery, and a regenerative organic vegetable farm. The pair have also amassed two million followers on Instagram, where they post a variety of innovative plant-based recipes.
