Support Kerry Businesses

There’s something truly special about shopping local, when you choose to support Kerry businesses, you’re not just buying a gift. You’re investing in local makers, family-run shops, community cafés, and the people who give our county its heart.

At The Forge, we’re proud to showcase a curated selection of products from some of the best creators, producers, and small businesses across Kerry. Thoughtful, beautifully made, and rooted in our community, these gifts are meaningful in more ways than one.
