MARKET POSITIONING

Who the site speaks to, and what it promises.

Every redesign starts with a clear answer to these two questions. This is how the site answers them today.

The promise

Local done right.

The audience

Families visiting for pick-your-own and the farm market, cider drinkers and shoppers who want fruit and provisions shipped, and wholesale buyers.

The challenge

A working farm with a shop, a cider garden, events, tours and seasonal picking needs one site that stays current through the year and sells online.

BRAND SYSTEM

The colours, type and logo we built around.

Colour, typography and the mark work as one system across every page, from the first screen to the footer.

WHAT WE DID

From first conversation to a site that works.

  1. 01Rebuilt the storefront and the visit experience as one site, from shop to pick-your-own.
  2. 02Led with the story that sets the farm apart: family-owned, 175+ varieties, solar powered.
  3. 03Made seasonal updates easy to publish, so the fall picking and cider garden pages stay current.
  4. 04Organised products, gift boxes and delivery into clear collections.
  5. 05Designed a warm, earthy brand in forest green with a readable serif-friendly type choice.
  6. 06Added structured data so search engines and AI assistants can read the business: Organization, WebSite.
