FOOD REPUBLIC: Branding a Local Experience

FOOD REPUBLIC: Branding a Local Experience

Food Republic is a family-owned farm that offers more than fresh, eco-friendly produce; it’s a place where people gather for cooking classes, farm visits, and seasonal events. Their mission is to grow a community around local food and shared experiences.

SCOPE

Visual Identity + Packaging

Visual Identity + Packaging

Challenge

Their old identity didn’t reflect the brand’s warmth or character. It felt generic, inconsistent, and hard for the internal team to manage. They needed a system that captured their joyful, down-to-earth personality while simplifying day-to-day design tasks across packaging and communications.

approach

I created a flexible brand identity inspired by nostalgic camp culture, from patches and stickers to the feeling of gathering around a fire with friends. The visual language uses simple illustrations, earthy tones with bright pops of color, and approachable typography to evoke nature, connection, and a sense of belonging.
A modular label system was designed to simplify packaging production and maintain visual consistency across farm-fresh products sold on-site and at markets.
