About the Company

Our client makes modern home-gardening joyful, easy, and wildly successful — from heirloom vegetable seeds and specialty herb kits to bonsai starters, grow-lights, and patio planters. Backed by EAK Distribution, they’re already an 8-figure e-commerce brand selling on Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, and their own DTC site, and they’re on a fast track to $30 million in annual revenue within the next few years.
