Refactoring an abandoned site.

This purpose-built farm shop was still a blueprint when we planned the brand strategy over a kitchen table.

The Smiddy Farm Shop sits on an abandoned ironworks site and takes its name from the old Scots word for Blacksmith.

It all started from a belief that good locally grown food makes you healthier and happier and brings people together.

It has grown to become one of the most prominent landmarks in the local area with a four-star reputation for excellent food and produce.
