From a brand nobody knew, to a brand people choose.

Burroughs Family Farms came to us with a single egg carton they struggled to get into retail spaces. The family had four generations of farming tradition, but nobody outside it knew the story. Our goal was to build a brand that conveyed their heritage and earned the trust of retail buyers.

The Challenge

A real family with a multi-generation farming legacy had no retail presence and no story to make an unfamiliar brand feel trustworthy.

The Approach

A silhouette illustration of a farmer teaching their child immediately framed the family's farming story across every product.

The Outcome

The packaging connected with consumers and store buyers, launching a brand that would grow into a full product range now sold at retail locations across the West Coast.
