Cloverleaf Farms Closing Its Doors

The Cloverleaf Farm, a small farm located near Dixon that specializes in fruit and herbs, is closing.

The operation, an eight-acre organic orchard and farm, has been running since 2011.

“We are ending the lease and will not be operating anymore,” Cloverleaf wrote on its Facebook page on Oct. 7. 

Located on the Collins Farm on Olmo Lane, near the border of Solano and Yolo counties, Cloverleaf gained a reputation for its peaches, nectarines, apricots, figs and herbs.

Cloverleaf sold produce to grocery stores, restaurants, specialty food processors and online markets through the area and as far away as San Francisco and Berkeley.
