Rebrand

Background

Riverford Organic Dairy was gaining a reputation for producing high-quality artisan dairy products. For over 70 years, the Watson family has managed the farm at Riverford, becoming synonymous with sustainable land management and organic farming methods. The health of the land is as important as the wellbeing of the animals: Riverford's pastures are filled with wildflowers, herbs, and plants that not only enrich the soil but also influence the distinct taste of the milk produced.

The Challenge

As Riverford sought to expand beyond local establishments into premium high-street stores, it became clear that their visual identity did not reflect the exceptional quality of their products. They needed a new look that was both eye-catching and rooted in the values of the family business. With a tight budget, they needed a consistent packaging system that would adapt as the product range expanded.

Strategic Approach

The aim was to create a visual identity that captured Riverford’s natural approach to land management and animal welfare while helping the brand stand out in a competitive retail environment.

Design Solution

The flowing Riverford script acts as a signature — a symbol of the dairy’s promise to uphold ethical farming practices and produce outstanding organic products. For the packaging, simplicity and flexibility were key: using three tints of the same color, each product could have its own distinctive look while maintaining visual consistency across the range.

Outcomes & Impact

Since the rebrand, Riverford Organic Dairy has expanded its distribution and now supplies many well-known independent retailers, including Whole Foods Market and Selfridges.

“We know our rebrand will sit powerfully alongside our competition, whilst clearly reflecting our unique values. Matthew has given us outstanding guidance, support and creative input, asking questions that as a business we had not considered, and have been responsive in helping us to solve unexpected obstacles during the course of a busy year which has seen us enter new markets.”
