Clif Bar was born on a bike. In 1990, Gary Erickson set off on a 175-mile bike ride. Exhausted and hungry, he realized he couldn't take another bite of the energy bars he brought along. At that moment he now calls 'the epiphany,' he had the idea to make a better tasting energy bar.

Today, Gary and his wife, Kit Crawford, continue to lead Clif Bar's innovative business model. Guided by Five Aspirations – Sustaining our People, our Business, our Brands, our Community and the Planet – Clif Bar is a family- and employee-owned company that loves food. We believe that food provides health, joy, and energy to do the things we are passionate about. The food we create is good for people and the planet.

In April 2015 Clif Bar broke ground to build our new commercial bakery, Clif Bar Baking Company of Twin Falls. We believe that happy, healthy people create the best food and envision an innovative environment where our people can grow and succeed both personally and professionally. We strive to:

• Create a company culture that inspires and supports our people in and outside work.
• Sustain our people with competitive pay and benefits, holistic wellness offerings, and other innovative benefits.
• Hire the right people for the right positions and support them to grow in their current and future roles.

Working at Clif Bar Baking Company is a chance to make the highest quality bars at a different kind of bakery, with great people who are making great food to FEED YOUR ADVENTURE.

This is an exciting new step for Clif Bar. Let it be an exciting new step for you too!
