The Partners
The people who help us share the harvest.
Yubakami works alongside community organizations and health initiatives to move nutrient-dense food from our farms to the neighbors who need it.
Partnering With Us
Our first partners are the farmers, and their families. We know them. We know their ethics and their practices. We test leaf Brix and measure the microbial respiration in their soil to help them monitor, and continually improve, their regenerative practices.
No less essential are the customers who are able to appreciate the quality of our farms. These include institutions such as food banks and Food as Medicine practitioners, as well as neighbors who have forged a direct connection with us.
And then there are the social justice advocates, such as CAFF and Fresh Approach, and those on the State and County level who guide policy in the right direction.
“We Are Stronger together.”

The hands (and hearts) beyond the harvest
A food system only truly works when it functions as a complete cycle, and all parties understand that they are on the same side. This means open and frequent communication between growers, aggregators, customers, advocates and policy-makers.

Food Banks
Yubakami received federal funding for two years to deliver produce to food banks and pantries in Yuba, Sutter, Nevada, Placer, Shasta and Siskiyou Counties.
Once the federal funding ceased, California agreed to include funding in its 2026-7 budget to continue the program

Advocates & organizers
Yubakami collaborates with other ethical food hubs (see Anna, above left, from Food2People in LA) and State leadership (Karen Ross, CDFA Secretary, center) to find funding and enact legislation favorable to the environment and farmworkers
Health
Well-being partners
Partnering with the Yuba Sutter Food Policy Council, Blue Zones Project and Harmony Health, Yubakami is actively engaged in improving local food access: not only for fresh produce, but for truly nutrient-dense produce.
