AAPI Heritage Month Corporate Gifting
Last year, ahead of AAPI Heritage Month (May), we received many requests for bulk corporate gifting orders from all the cool companies that decided to celebrate that way. We weren’t really prepared, but this year we are, and have developed a discount program specifically for this.
We're offering 15% off all corporate gifting, whether it be for your team members, clients, or business partners. Gifts can be shipped directly to recipients, with the option to include a customized note. Alternatively, ship in bulk to one address.
You can find our packages on our website. If you're looking for something else, let us know! We can customize the gifts to your needs.
Please reach out to us at gifting@yunhai.shop for more information.
Upcoming Events
From outdoor barbecues to community collaborations, hosting events where we can meet you all face-to-face is one of the most rewarding aspects of running this business. As the weather warms, we’re gearing up for a busy event season. Here’s a peek at what’s to come:
May 5th, Field Meridians Nature School, Mugwort & Friends: Field Meridians is an artist collective committed to advancing critical place-based interventions to strengthen local food ecologies. We’ll be joining them for their Mugwort harvesting and processing workshops at the Naval Cemetary Landscape.
May 11th, 10am-2pm, Choy Division Seedling Sale: Last year, we hosted a seedling sale with Choy Division, an Asian- and woman-owned farm in Orange County, NY that grows heirloom Asian vegetables in a sustainable way. The event was such a joy that we’ve decided to welcome farmer Christina Chan back for Seedling Sale, round 2, in May.
From time to time, we put items that are overstocked or nearing their best before date on sale. This date isn't an expiration date, but represents the recommended time period to consume the item at peak freshness. The items are safe to consume beyond that date and may stay at their best for a while longer.
To prevent waste, we offer these products as part of our Quick Sale collection at a discount to you. The sale page will indicate why they are on sale and what their best before dates are. It’s a great way to get your favorites for less and reduce food waste at the same time.

I am in the long-read camp, but lovely to see an update from you.
I also wanted to share that I saw Yun Hai on the front page of English Wikipedia recently. Yun Hai was featured in the "Did You Know" section, and an archived version is available here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_Page_history/2024_February_11 . Kudos to you :)
