Field Notes
Warm cream paper, an old-style serif, generous white space. Quiet and trustworthy โ reads like a well-made local cookbook or a farm journal.

Same farm, same content, same real photos โ three different personalities. All three are complete, clickable sites โ every page works in every direction. Mixing is fine too: "B's type with C's photos" is a perfectly good answer.

Open the site โBuilt from his actual hand-painted sign. Manila and barn red, condensed poster type, hard black rules, placards tilted a degree off square.
Open the site โPhoto first. Full-bleed hero with the type sitting over it, near-white ground, tight modern sans, hairline rules instead of boxes.
Open the site โThe first pass ran entirely on photos scraped off the existing website, all of them 2013โ2015 and almost all landscape. A camera-roll drop has since filled most of that in โ there's now a portrait of the grower, the stand as it looks today, a wide shot of the tilled field, current sunflowers, and a dozen vertical frames, which is what unlocked the taller layouts.
What's still missing, in the order it matters:
Vibe C is still the most exposed โ a photo-first layout lives on picture quality. It's now viable where it wasn't before, but it will keep wanting new photographs in a way A and B won't. There are also four videos in the drop I haven't used; worth a conversation if any direction should move.
All three are complete sites
