Paviland Farm

AN IN­NO­VA­TIVE fam­ily farm is on a mis­sion to bring vegetable and organic farming back to Gower and has re­cruited two new peo­ple to help its vi­sion grow.

In­spired by lo­cal in­ter­est in the squash and pump­kins it grew last au­tumn and sold to lo­cal restau­rants like the Miche­lin-starred Beach­house at Oxwich, Chris Harry Thomas has taken the de­ci­sion to take some of Pav­i­land Farm out of arable pro­duc­tion and re­vert to grow­ing veg­eta­bles.

The farm also works with the Na­tional Trust to man­age much of its farm­land on Gower, in­clud­ing the his­toric Vile land at Rhos­sili, which is now fa­mous for its sun­flow­ers and other wild flow­ers.
