Good things grow
from better foundations.
A farm doesn’t fit neatly into a template. Its online store shouldn’t have to, either.
Fermes Valens was outgrowing Shopify. The next chapter called for a storefront the business could own: fully bilingual, connected to its customer operations, and built for a catalogue where products are sold by weight as well as by unit.
The team rebuilt the shop on Laravel and Vue, bringing the catalogue, categories and content into a custom platform.
A familiar platform, with a growing need for a different fit.
A custom storefront connected to the way the farm works.
Fresh perspective.
Familiar character.
The farm comes first. The technology makes the next step feel natural.
