Do you think we should go for a darker green (closer to that used on here) for linked text?

Definitely

I think the sheep photo is too dark and the Rosewood Farms lettering on there needs to be a different colour too. I might be tempted to increase brightness and contrast on the photo and give it just a tiniest little hint of brown (not sepia, just something to make it look warmer)

In fact I think the whole colour scheme looks a bit harsh and clinical, it doesn't feel food or farm related

How's that? the rose is removed and it is brighter and browner.

Better, but could the green for the links be the same as that for the menu back ground?

Agree to a limited extent but I think it's important to avoid being 'twee'.

It strikes me as being a bit too brown. Like to see the Rose back too.

Do you need a "product search" box under "list all products" - are there going to be that many that necestitates such a prominent search function? The space could be used for something else.

Not at all what I had in mind, if I had some time I'd have a go myself.

Can you email me the original photo, I'll see if I can achieve what I think it should look like.

Its a promising start - a bit of tweaking and general finishing and you should have something decent. For me the 2 main things that need attention are the images and, more importantly imo, the logo.

The "Robert" link on the front page just opens the front page again in a new window.

Well spotted. Should be sorted now.

I like the colour scheme. Is there anyway the buttons can go in a straight line across the very top of the page, instead of being split into two rows?
