Love is at the heart of Clover
What’s good for the people, animals, and the planet is also good for business. This sentiment has been at the heart of Clover Sonoma’s ethos since its inception over 100 years ago. For Clover Sonoma, dairy has always been a labor of love, and for more than a century, it’s led with a history of firsts:
1994: Clover Sonoma was one of the first dairies to say “no” to the synthetic growth hormone rBST.
2000: The company was the first dairy in the U.S. to become American Humane-Certified for the care it gives its cows.
2019: Clover Sonoma began the process of eliminating plastic caps across many of its product lines and, as of 2022, prevented more than 1 million pounds of plastic from entering landfills.
2020: Clover Sonoma created the first renewable milk carton in the U.S. with a 100% plant-based liner. This carton has a 16% smaller carbon footprint vs. traditional cartons.
2022: Clover Sonoma produced the first post-consumer recycled (PCR) gallon milk jug in the U.S. to help cut down on consumer waste.
