About Clif Bar
Clif Bar and Company started on a bike ride. The founder, Gary, took a bite of another energy bar and thought to himself: "I could make a better bar than this." Today, they still want to make things better. Their food. Their company. Even the planent. They'll keep working on it.

Clif Bar is named after Gary's father, Clifford, his childhood hero and compnaion throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains. In 1990, Gary live in a garage with his dog, his skis, climbing gear, bicycle and two trumpets. The inspiration to create an energy bar occurred during a day-long, 175-mile ride with his buddy, Jay. They'd been gnawing on some "other" energy bars. Suddenly, despite his hunger, He coudln't take another bite. That's the moment he now calls "the epiphany." two years later, after countless hours in Mom's kitchen, Clif Bar haad become a reality. And the mission to create a better-tasting energy bar was accomplished.

Clif Bar has grown since 1990, and still the spirit of adventure taht began on that ride continues to thrive each day. As the company evolves, they face many choices, yet they always do their best to take care of their people, their community, and the environment.
