Backstory

We partnered with Silver Stream Farms in 2012 to build their first-ever website. Established in 1923, the farm had grown into a must-visit destination in Port Sandfield, Muskoka, known for its market, bakery, butcher, and locally sourced produce. Owners Steve and Bruce Watford needed a website customers could rely on for accurate information, seasonal hours, and updates.

Opportunity

As Silver Stream’s popularity had exploded—including mentions in the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, Narcity, and even National Geographic—it was time for a more modern site that better reflected the brand, improved usability, and highlighted what makes the farm market a standout destination.

Results

The redesign focused on showcasing the in-person experience online, with stronger visuals, clearer navigation, and content that highlights each of the farm market’s specialties.

• Modern, full-width design with updated photography
• Streamlined navigation and clearer access to hours and key info
• Dedicated pages for local produce, bakery, butcher, deli, and ice cream parlour
• Instagram integration to reflect real-time activity and popularity
• SEO improvements to support local discovery and niche offerings
• Secure, updated WordPress build for long-term reliability

The result is a more engaging, informative website that captures the personality of Silver Stream Farms and reinforces its reputation as a must-visit Muskoka destination.
