Walden Backyards update — carving out the lawn & garden division: 3 branded ergonomic yard tools, 80%+ margins, $63K spring revenue. Open to creative structures. Some of you followed along when I acquired Walden Backyards in September 2025 — a two-product outdoor brand built around the Weed Hound (stand-up weed puller) and Stoker Poker (fire tool). I've shared a bit about how that acquisition came together and the early work of getting the business on solid footing. Here's the next chapter: I'm carving out the lawn & garden division and selling it. Why: Over the past 10 months I've made a deliberate decision to focus Walden exclusively on fireside accessories and outdoor living. That's where our energy, our brand identity, and our growth is going. The lawn & garden line — The Weed Hound™, The Perfect Planter™, and The Simple Scooper™ — is a genuinely strong asset that simply no longer fits that direction. I'll be honest: it never got the attention it deserved under my ownership, and it didn't get it under the prior owner either. That's the opportunity. A note on the revenue and EBITDA figures listed above: I've entered annualized figures based on 2026 relaunch performance — $63,000 in actual revenue across approximately 10 weeks of spring selling (March through mid-June), which implies roughly $300K+ annualized when applied against the known seasonality pattern (approximately 60% of annual volume falls in Q2, 30% in Q4). I want to be transparent: this is a relaunch year from a roughly two-year dormancy (on the Lawn/Garden products specifically) caused by a prior ownership transition, not a steady-state business. The annualized 2026 figure is the floor, not the ceiling. Here's what makes it interesting: The Weed Hound had been dormant for roughly two years due to a prior ownership transition before I acquired Walden. We relaunched in early 2026 with a fresh production run and generated $63,000 in revenue — 1,500+ units — in approximately 10 weeks, with Walmart launching from a cold start in March. Two consecutive owners underinvested in this product. It still came back and produced $63K in a partial spring season. That's durable, organic demand. What's included in the sale: - Three branded products: The Weed Hound™, The Perfect Planter™, and The Simple Scooper™ - 80%+ gross margins at standard retail pricing across all three SKUs - 2,000,000+ lifetime units sold (Weed Hound, including prior brand iterations going back 30+ years) - Four live channels: Amazon FBA (4.4? , Amazon's Choice), DTC, Walmart WFS, Meta — Walmart and Meta are newly launched with real upside still ahead - Clean IP: prior USPTO "Weed Hound" registrations confirmed cancelled; patent filing roadmap already mapped with counsel - Nearly 30-year supplier relationship on the Weed Hound; all tooling owned by Walden and transfers to buyer - Google Ads account with years of paid search history, keyword data, and conversion performance - theweedhound.com domain, product photography, demo video, and interactive content - Existing Midwest (centrally located) 3PL relationship available to continue (optional) - Weed Hound units available at close Growth levers nobody has pulled yet: - Brick-and-mortar retail — zero wholesale accounts today; hardware, farm/ranch, and garden center channels completely untouched - Restock the Perfect Planter and Simple Scooper — tooling and supplier relationships are in place; this is an execution gap, not a product gap - TikTok Shop — not yet launched despite strong perceived demand for short-form demo content in this category - Warm-climate and off-season geo-targeting — no current marketing into regions where demand doesn't have the same seasonal lull - Patent filing — roadmap is mapped and ready to execute Who this is for: An experienced ecommerce or DTC operator who understands hero-SKU economics and multichannel scaling, or a strategic buyer in the lawn & garden space looking to add proven IP and an established Amazon presence. This isn't a distressed asset — it's a neglected one. There's a difference. On structure — I'm flexible: A full acquisition is the clean path, but I'm genuinely open to other structures if the right partner comes along. Joint venture, revenue-share arrangement, minority equity stake, earn-out — if you see the opportunity and want to explore a creative deal, let's talk. The goal is getting this into the hands of someone who will actually run with it, not a specific transaction structure. Teaser is attached. Happy to answer questions here or take it to DM. Full financials and additional data available under NDA. Would love to have a conversation.
