Clover Stornetta Farm’s founder, Gene M. Benedetti passed away in 2006, but his legacy lives on in the second and third generation of family members and employees who follow in his footsteps at Clover, along with Clo The Cow, our famous mascot, one of Gene’s most well-loved creations.  

A WWII veteran who lived through the invasion of Normandy on D-day, Gene returned home to Petaluma, CA to found what is now one of the most respected dairy processors in the country, and became a pillar of his community, known for his generosity to those less fortunate.  

We strive to live up to the high standards of excellence he established all those many years ago in everything we do at Clover Stornetta Farms.
