Yami has been a hometown hit from the very beginning. James Rice, the original founder of Auburn Dairy Products, is shown here in 1924. He was a hard-working innovator who brought wholesome dairy products to his customers in Auburn, Washington. Now our dairy products are enjoyed throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond, but we have continued to follow the example of excellence he set.

Yami yogurt is still made in Auburn, not far from Rice's first facility. Our milk is sourced locally from neighbors who take immense pride in their farms. Their cows are tenderly treated and are never given artificial growth hormones—no rBST ever! 

Therefore, our products are better for you and offer superior flavor.

Buying local is a smart move...for us and for you. Partnering with smaller farms and businesses supports the economy right where we live. You are contributing to a smaller carbon footprint since the foods don't have to travel long distances. And when fewer people handle the food, you can be more confident of its purity.

So, while our town looks a good deal different these days, the old-fashioned goodness that helped to build it is available to you in Yami.
