A closer look at the brand taking shape.
Elderfold is the name that holds it all together: Stay.
The name comes from two things. The elder tree: native to the British countryside, found in hedgerows and field margins, generous with its flowers in spring and its berries in autumn. In English folklore, elder was long associated with protection: boughs placed in stable and byre doorways, crosses hung above barns to watch over the animals within. For a farm built around the care of rescued animals, that felt fitting. And the fold: an old English word for a sheepfold, the enclosure where a flock is kept. A place of shelter. A place of belonging.
Elderfold is therefore, us. A farm that protects and a place that gathers. Both, at once.
Here's a sneak-peak at just some of the ways it plays out in our branding, visual language, colours and overall design.
