The Clif Family Honey Story
Clif Family’s farmers didn’t set out to become beekeepers. They started out with a great orchard for produce, but it didn’t yield much bounty. Once they introduced bees, they saw a dramatic increase in not only the fruits and vegetables they grew, but also in the overall health of their farm. Now, their delicious, Solar-Grown honey is an integral part of all they offer. Planting pollinator-friendly habitat in solar farms helps contribute to a vibrant ecosystem and supports the health of our planet’s challenged pollinator populations.
Protecting At-Risk Pollinators
It’s an unfortunate fact: nearly 30% of North America’s bumble bee species are in a state of decline. Bees are integral to the quality and quantity of the produce we eat, from vegetables through fruits and grains. Insecticides are part of the problem, along with a loss of habitat. With the launch of their sustainable, pesticide-free, Solar-Grown honey, Clif Family is helping to safeguard the health of our bees, ecosystems, and food supplies.
