Packaging

The Product

Originally a chalkboard style label that covered most of the package and product, I wanted to take the brand in a different direction and we introduced a clean vibrant aesthetic to our packaging. The new design used bright colors and transparent labels to display the beautiful product, while the playful copy emphasized the flavor, aroma, smell, benefits or uses of it— or just having a bit of veggie pun!
With the packaging update, our product jumped off store shelves and we saw a dramatic increase in sales, not only in our own market, but also in Publix, Kroger Delivery, Walmart & Winn Dixie.

Our retail presence also
consisted of clever POS retail
signage that changed often
to draw customer attention.

Our Swag Game = Strong

The Villages Grown became a sense of local pride in our community and our merch allowed residents to show their support of the local food system we aimed to create.

Hosting Lunch-and-Learns for restaurant owners interested in incorporating our product into their menu, allowed for a try-before-

you-buy approach. I handcrafted and named all of the delicious cocktails prepared for the lunches and they were served as a flight alongside a 4 course meal highlighting different products.
