This week, The Sunday Times named Gower the best place to live in Wales.
We couldn’t agree more.

To us, Gower is more than a coastline. It’s a community. A kitchen. A wild, weathered peninsula packed with talent, flavour and local pride.

Here’s our personal guide to the producers and places that make Gower feel like nowhere else.

Good For You Ferments – Fairwood
Wild, fizzy and gut-loving. Local ferments made by hand.

Gower Preserves – Three Crosses
Chutneys, jams and proper handmade flavour. Goes great with a wedge of local cheese.

Gower Coast Meat – North Gower
Pasture-raised and packed with flavour. This is real meat from real land, with a sea view.

Koop & Kiln – Gowerton
Pasture-raised eggs and sustainable charcoal — real essentials, done properly.

Little Walterstone Farm – Penmean
Small, slow, and grown with soul. Local veg, lamb, and a view of the estuary.

Gower Lavender – Murton
Calming creams, oils and soaps from a sea-breezed lavender field.

Little Valley Bakery – Parkmill
The smell alone is worth the visit. Sourdough, pastries, fire, and heart.

Petallica Flower Farm – Dunvant
Community-grown, pesticide-free blooms and a market full of good energy.

Arno Surfboards – Reynoldston
Handcrafted boards by Jacob Arnold — shaped right here, for these very waves.

Ffilter Coffee – Mumbles
Clean, thoughtful coffee roasted in Swansea. Beans that actually taste like something.

Gower Brewery – Crofty
Estuary-born ales with names and flavours locals know well.

Cae Tan CSA – Parkmill
One of the most inspiring farms in Wales. Community-supported, biodynamic, and leading the way.

The Bay Clothing – Mumbles
Salt-licked surfwear, soft homewares, and coastal style done right.

The Britannia Inn – Llanmadoc
Local food, a good pint, and a roaring fire. What more do you need?

We’re lucky to live and work among these good people. From sourdough to surfboards, meat to ferments, Gower is full of makers doing it properly.

We’ll keep sharing their work with you — and keep building a better food system, one box at a time.
