WHAT IS DUCK FARM BRANDS?
DFB is a portfolio of consumer brandsand investments, createdby Taylor Llewellyn, for today’s evolving marketplace and consumer.
Founded BRANDS
We launch one or two concepts each year, narrowly focusing on unique consumer products serving hyper-niche market segments. The common thread across our brands is they reflect what we would rather be doing than working!
Through a growing portfolio of owned and operatedbrands, we are able to drive profitability through: establishing strong gross margins, leveraging an asset light operating model, sharing back and mid-office functions across brands, and engaging our extensive manufacturing resources abroad.
We deploy proprietary capital into our concepts and have no strategy for exit liquidity. Our vision is to develop dozens of brands with a focus on generating cash flow, while diversifying our holdings across a broad portfolio of concepts, and pleasing our customers around the world.
BRAND Investments
In addition to creating and launching our own concepts, we opportunistically invest in passionate founders creating products that we love as consumers.
When investing, we are founder focused and like being the first capital into a creator with a big vision. Our typical seed stage investment size ranges from $25,000 - $100,000.
Why call it Duck Farm?
Taylor’s Mother grew up on Mayo’s Duck Farm on Cape Cod. Sometimes you just have to go with what you know.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath. -Michael Caine
