About Us

Our story

Rooted in Community
& Nature

YUMi began on our small family farm in Malmesbury, in the heart of the Swartland. Our mission is simple: to bring you pure, sustainably sourced superfoods and sun-dried citrus that taste like they came straight from the source, because they did.

Nature keeps it real!

Malmesbury roots

Where it all begins

Our story starts in the orchard. Inspired by the Swartland sunshine, we grow our own lemons, limes and oranges, then slice and gently dry them to lock in all that vibrant flavour and aroma.

It's a small farm, and that's exactly how we like it. Every batch gets our full attention.

The journey

Hand-picked & sustainably sourced

Everything is picked by hand. Our baobab, moringa and beetroot come from trusted local growers and rural communities who care for the land as much as we do, so every jar supports the people behind it.

Want ons kan nie net van sitrus leef nie, so we went looking for Africa's most remarkable superfoods, and brought them home.

Packed with care

Nothing added, nothing hidden

Every jar is packed with care on our farm. Just the real thing: no fillers, no additives and no preservatives.

We pack into reusable glass with labels inspired by the colours and patterns of our African heritage, so every jar feels like a gift, and never ends up as single-use plastic.

What we stand for

Our values

Three simple promises sit behind every jar we pack.

Transparency

What's on the label is what's in the jar. We tell you where our food comes from, how it's dried and how it's packed, with nothing to hide.

Community growth

Local is lekker. We buy from local growers and rural communities, and pack everything on our own farm, so your purchase keeps value close to home.

Whole-food nutrition

Real food, simply dried and milled. Tangy baobab for vitamin C and fibre, nourishing moringa with all 9 essential amino acids, and earthy beetroot rich in natural nitrates.
