Join Saba's grocers network and become part of our alternative food supply chain

We’re addressing the issue of food apartheid by creating a sales, distribution, and delivery network that gets fresh food to where it’s needed most.

Whether you grow food, want to sell produce, or are looking for ways to make getting and eating produce easier and cheaper, our programs can help you.

Corner stores

Why corner stores? Because every neighborhood has one!

Much of Oakland lives in “food deserts” – where a traditional grocery store is a mile away or more and healthy food can’t be reached. By putting produce into corner stores, we’re able to get good food to all of Oakland.

Saba partners with corner store owners to get solve the problems of delivery, volume, and logistics. Our warehouse and operations allow us to break down the traditional large-volume ordering from wholesalers to right-size the amount we deliver to corner stores. We also provide training on perishable inventory management, and supply refrigeration units.

Saba’s network spans retailers from mom-and-pop shops to large institutions to California farmers in the Central Valley and across the state.

When you become a Saba supplier, we’ll take care of logistics like pickup and delivery, and operations like sales and marketing of your products. On top of that, you’ll receive prompt payments, and extend your reach beyond the traditional outlets.
