Your page body layouts are great, but I'm not really feeling the header - the main logo doesn't sit elegantly and the bare green/orange combo is a little insipid. Also, the nav buttons are weak - personally, i don't like the font and counting how many fonts you've got there, I see 4 on the page (logo text and sub text, nav, then body) - I'd consider swapping the nav font for one of the others already used, maybe in a different weight.
Not sure if the green is a requirement, but I'd consider knocking everything back to bare bones white and black, then building the colour up from that - it's a bit dense and the white/green transition abrupt as it is.
One thing popped into mind - it could be a bit tacky, but have you tried a subtle cow skin pattern in the background? A nice, big family of blotches sitting on white could look really nice. Or terrible :)
One last thing - the logo looks like it might benefit from a touch of Filter > Sharpen.
