How Howdy Creative helps farm products find their own voice — from a single packaging project to the birth of 20 brands.
Taiwan's farm produce isn't lacking in quality — it's lacking someone to tell its story.

Design isn't a cost — it'sreturn on investment. When what a consumer buys is no longer just farm produce but a story and a set of values, the price they're willing to pay changes completely.
The FirstFarm ProductPackaging Project
In 2010, Howdy Creative took on its first farm product packaging project. The idea back then was simple: "If this farmer's plums deserve to be seen, then design can make sure they are."
A good package isn't just good-looking — it has to tell a story. It has to say: who grew these plums, how, and why they're worth it. That belief later became the core methodology behind Howdy Creative's farm-brand consulting.
Not just packaging — building acomplete brand
By 2016, we weren't just designing packaging anymore — we had built a complete process for farm-brand consulting. Turning a farm product into a full brand experience takes six core elements:
- Brand story and market positioning
- Visual identity system design
- Packaging design and material selection
- Channel strategy planning
- Fair pricing system design
- Long-term social content planning
In 2020, we integrated e-commerce channel strategy. In 2024, we folded in a sustainable agriculture narrative, so farm products carry not just quality but a set of values.
