Ohio-South Farm Products

Responsive Desktop & Mobile Website Design

Great-tasting food products deserve to look their best.

Ohio-South Farm Products is a Specialty Foods company rooted in Central Ohio. Their great tasting products are made fresh from the farm with healthy, natural ingredients. Ohio-South markets to national distributors, wholesale customers, grocery stores, restaurants, and online direct to consumer.

Many of our products were created by hardworking Specialty Food Industry entrepreneurs and sold at local farm markets before becoming national brands. Ohio-South is proud to have Bear’s Breath Ketchup, Szagorski’s Peppers, Mendocino Mustard, O’Hara’s Jams & Jellies, and Durango Artisan Foods as part of the Ohio-South family.

CEO Thomas Gill had found CurlyRed in a Google search many years ago, as he owns a home in the area and was looking for a creative agency partnership. One fateful day in 2022, he reached out to us for some branding help for this new endeavor, Ohio-South Farm Products. When he shared his vision with us, we were thrilled for the opportunity to come alongside him and create something beautiful together.



Over the next several months, CurlyRed has created new branding, a fully custom and responsive web presence, an identity system, marketing materials and package design for Ohio-South. We decided on a bright, optimistic color palette, matched with inviting landscapes and appealing product imagery. In all that we create for Ohio-South, we aim to emphasize the high-quality and healthy standards of all of their products.

But as a parent company of many smaller specialty food companies, Tom’s creative needs were constant, and a ongoing creative retainer made the most sense to support his company as it grew. Now we serve Ohio-South as its outsourced marketing and creative partner, and have worked on countless projects including: marketing strategy creation and implementation, package design, sales and spec sheets, social media imagery and reels, email marketing, trade show signage, and more. We look forward to helping Ohio-South continue to grow and thrive from their beginnings in California and Colorado, to brand recognition and product sales across the United States!


CEO Thomas Gill has this to say:

“Kendall, Mark, and Olivia for the past year on a number of projects including the design and management of our website, development of our Ohio-South brand, as well as many product rebranding projects including label redesigns. They have been very responsive to our project requests and have a very good working relationship with the team a CurlyRed. We enjoy working together and sincerely value our business relationship with CurlyRed.”

Back to Work!
