Air date: Oct 22, 2012

Nick Hewer is on a mission to help small farms diversify. This time he is in Newry with Phil Brown, 'Northern Irelands answer to Dr Dolittle.' Phil has an array of pint-sized animals, from pygmy goats, miniature ponies and micro pigs to llamas, alpacas and a baby kangaroo. Phil wants to use his 17-acre site to develop a mobile petting farm. He has a great gift with animals but he needs to take this ability and make it into a viable business. Nick has ambitious plans for Phil, incorporating rebranding, franchising and expansion. The question is - will he be able to convince Phil to think big?
