Hock and Peaches: Grand Goal

On a farm filled with wonder-where every cloud wears a smile and every challenge is a chance to grow-lives Hock, a young pig with a very big dream. He wants to jump as high as the older pigs... right over the fence!

With the help of his thoughtful and encouraging best friend Peaches, Hock learns that big goals don’t happen all at once. Together, they discover the power of dreaming big, making a plan, practising step by step, and never giving up. Through slips, stumbles, and small successes, Hock begins to realise that effort, patience, and teamwork are just as important as the goal itself.
