Yumbah began its journey to being The Great Australian Aquaculture Company as a pioneer of onshore abalone farming before expanding to mussel, oyster and oyster spat production.
We use the name “Yumbah” thanks to the generosity of the Yaegl people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Yaygirr language, where the word means “larger shellfish”. Yumbah acknowledges and pays respect to the Yaegl people, as well as to the Traditional Owners of those lands and waters wherever we operate, including the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and the Barngala, Palawa, Bunurong, Kaurna, Worimi, Birpai, Darug and Gunditjmara people.
We are privileged to work with the environment and local communities where our farms are located to sustainably grow our award-winning seafood. Supported by world recognised ASC, BAP and Organic certifications, Yumbah’s produce, people and places are responsibly nurtured according to the highest possible standards of craftsmanship and care.
Yumbah understands that prioritising sustainability across its operations will help the company to achieve its vision, and will drive economic growth, stronger communities and a healthier ocean ecosystem for the long term.
