Nurturing the land with organic & regenerative farming.
Over 90 acres of vineyards and 10 acres dedicated to vegetables, fruit orchards, and olive groves are proudly certified organic by CCOF. This certification mandates the responsible management of lands without the use of synthetic fertilizers or harmful, persistent pesticides.
Our vineyards hold the Napa Green Vineyards certification, the pioneering Napa Valley accreditation that prioritizes climate action, regenerative farming, and social equity within sustainable winegrowing.
Guided by regenerative agricultural principles such as no-till cultivation, perennial cover crops, and thoughtfully managed sheep grazing, our practices emphasize soil vitality and carbon emission reduction.
Sustainable production practices.
All our facilities and vineyards operate on 100% renewable electricity, sourced either through the MCE Deep Green renewables program or via on-site solar panels.
We are dedicated to incorporating organic and sustainably sourced ingredients across all our food products.
Our Solar Grown Honey project amplifies the benefits of clean energy while nurturing critical pollinator habitats.
We make our farm preserves and wine jellies in small batches in our own Organic Preserve Kitchen. The kitchen embodies our farm-to-table philosophy, ensuring that no ingredient goes to waste and every jar represents the hard work and dedication of our farm team.
Journey to zero waste.
Our shipping and packaging materials are consciously chosen to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable.
By opting for lightweight glass wine bottles and omitting foil capsules from our packaging, we substantially reduce packaging waste and carbon emissions.
Our partnership with Napa Climate Now! transforms our tasting room and food truck into environmentally-conscious hospitality destinations, furthering waste reduction.

We implement efficient irrigation practices and adopt sustainable water management techniques to significantly reduce water use in our vineyards and farm.
Each year we donate $25,000 to American Forests. Our support helps advance their mission to bring Tree Equity to cities across North America by planting trees in neighborhoods to ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefit of trees no matter where they live.
Our employees are given 16 hours of paid company time annually to engage in volunteer activities within their local communities.
We extend reimbursement to our employees for their National Park visits and entry fees for athletic events, fostering their connection with nature and well-being.

The Clif Family organic farm is a hidden Napa Valley gem.
In the heart of Napa Valley, where rows of grapes bask in the sunshine, there’s a secret garden nestled in the eastern hills, this 5-acre wonderland explodes with life, bursting with over 70 different crops. It’s here you will find blueberries bursting with sweetness, peppers with fiery personalities, and a cornucopia of tomatoes, beans, corn, lettuces, and more!
Each week, our farm team gathers this delicious bounty, delivering it straight to our Clif Family kitchen where our culinary team transforms the farm’s fresh flavors into mouthwatering seasonal dishes that grace our Food Truck and Wine Tasting menus. But that’s not all! This Napa Valley goodness also finds its way into our homemade preserves, fiery hot sauces, and extra virgin olive oil, capturing the essence of each perfectly ripe ingredient. So, next time you raise a glass at Clif Family, remember — there’s a whole lotta love growing right behind the scenes!
