Greendale Acres

Greendale Acres is a family agritourism farm in Chilliwack, BC, open from spring through fall. It runs a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, tulips, events, school groups and a farm shop.

All of that ran through a WordPress site that wasn't built to sell tickets. Choosing, paying for and receiving a ticket was a clunky, multi-step process. Memberships expired every December 31, so a family who joined in July lost their pass five months later.

The farm needed a modern site where visitors could find events, buy tickets and plan a visit easily, and one the team could manage themselves. It had to land with the season already underway.

Before building anything new, we protected what was already working. The migration carried over Greendale's content, navigation, links and SEO, so the farm kept its search rankings and visitors' saved links still worked.

Then we moved everything to Shopify, so tickets, memberships and the farm shop sell through one checkout. We integrated a dedicated ticketing system and redesigned memberships around the customer instead of the calendar: a pass now lasts 365 days from the day it's bought.

Launching a new ticketing system mid-season meant a lot of moving pieces, so we stayed close to the team. We checked in regularly, helped staff learn the system hands-on and fixed issues as they came up.

• A complete migration from WordPress to Shopify, with SEO, content, navigation and existing links preserved
• An online ticketing system integrated with Shopify, covering the full flow from choosing a ticket to paying to receiving a downloadable ticket
• A 365-day annual membership program with purchase, renewal and subscription built in and tested
• Member photos and details captured at checkout, so passes can be verified at the gate
• A lifestyle-led design built around family photography, so the site feels like a day at the farm
• Ongoing support as the farm's seasons and offerings change

Families can now buy tickets and memberships on their phones in a few taps, members get a full year whenever they join, and the team updates its own content and products without calling a developer.

• 49% revenue growth, season over season
• Bookings, online sales and membership sign-ups all increased after launch
• Launched on schedule, with every project goal met
• SEO and existing links carried over intact through the migration
• The team now manages website content and products themselves
