We are all about increasing the availability of local, fresh greens that our farmers grow with love.”

The new brand system was collaborated on with independent strategy and design company COLLINS.

Mariana Gorn, Design Director, Square Roots“To tell the full Square Roots story, we needed an ownable design with high appetite appeal,” said Mariana Gorn, Design Director at Square Roots. “Every visual aspect—from our logo, packaging, color palette, photography, and more—needed to reflect the vitality of our produce and the care with which we grow. The result is a refreshed brand system that celebrates how Square Roots bridges technology and nature to grow and deliver delicious, local food, responsibly, all year round.”

The new packaging features a vertical label orientation and serves as a nod to Square Roots’ beginnings in vertical farming. The thinner label format showcases more of the company’s product with a clear, bold type designed to stand out on the shelf. The company’s produce is 100 percent traceable with a scannable QR code on every package, allowing consumers to see how, where, and who grew their greens.

Using creative imagery, the refreshed branding highlights Square Roots' authenticity and transparency while promoting wider availability of fresh, local greens

In addition to its new branding, Square Roots debuted new salad mixes and expanded herb offerings to meet growing demand. This includes its new Spring Mix and Super Mix, and herbs such as basil, cilantro, dill, and parsley.

Big things ahead for this indoor farming operation!
