Bow Hill Blueberries Branding & Packaging

Established in 1947, Bow Hill Blueberries is the oldest family-run blueberry farm in the Skagit Valley. As the second family to own the farm, owners Susan & Harley Soltes’ goal is to create a vibrant, community oriented You-Pick and We-Pick farm that provides a safe, fun place for families to enjoy picking and eating blueberries right off the bush.

I was asked to create a brand for the farm in 2012, which expanded to packaging the many value-added products the farm carries. It was important to make sure the heritage of the farm could be felt through the packaging, but with a clean and modern twist that emphasized the quality of the products and fit the artisanal and fine food retailers carrying them.
