As the series opens, Hugh travels to meet Paul at River Cottage Australia – a former dairy farm nestled between the pristine Sapphire Coast and the imposing Mt Gulaga – a place of enormous significance for the indigenous Yuin people. Together Paul and Hugh will hear first-hand their powerful message of sustainability – as well as discover how the mountain is central to their Dreamtime stories. On the farm itself, Hugh and Paul map out a sustainable plan for the future, discover fantastic bounty as they forage locally for food, and share the products of their culinary skills with the locals - who in return will try to help them overcome the challenges of living off the land.
