MEET THE FARMER

Adfia Bristol, the owner of YES MA! Backyard Farm, a small family farm in Puyallup, Washington, carefully cultivates Caribbean crops in Pacific Northwest soil. She offers fresh, culturally relevant produce alongside small-batch, Guyanese-inspired Pepper Sauces, Onion Jams and Pickles at local farmers markets. What started as a way to access the foods she missed grew into a mission of preserving and restoring tradition, while igniting her community with bold, rich flavors of HOME.

THE NAME

"YES MA! Backyard Farm" is a tribute to the women who nurtured us—our Mother and Grandmother—who lovingly tended fruits and vegetables in their own backyards. The name carries their voices, their labor, and their legacy. Our logo features the farmhouse of our Great-Grandmother in Guyana, South America—a symbol of the rich farming heritage that flows through our family and informs all we do.

COMMITMENT 

We keep it simple—using farm-fresh ingredients grown with care and without harmful pesticides, chemicals, artificial sweeteners, or synthetic colors. Our sustainable growing practices honor Mother Earth, protecting the soil and preserving biodiversity so that every product nurtures both people and the planet.
