A message for Cliff’s Foods LLC

It’s never easy to share news like this, but we want to let you all know that Cliff’s Foods will be closing at the end of this year. Our Pasta Sauce, Bloody Mary Mix, and Caesar Mix will gradually disappear from store shelves as our remaining inventory sells out.

This is not the ending we ever hoped for. Cliff’s Foods began as a dream, one rooted in family, tradition, and the desire to build something meaningful for our children. Sharing our Pasta Sauce with you was the heart of our journey.

Unfortunately, rising costs of ingredients, packaging, and manufacturing changes have made it clear that continuing is no longer sustainable. Despite our best efforts, we simply cannot keep the business going profitably.

We will be participating in one final Pride of Dakota Showcase in Grand Forks, and we would love to see you there one last time. Due to limited supply, we will only have our Drink Mixes available at the show, so if you’d like to stock up on our Pasta Sauce, now is the time to grab it from your local stores.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us over the past seven years. It has been an honor to be part of Pride of Dakota and to represent North Dakota in this way. We’re keeping our recipes safe, and who knows — maybe one day, Cliff’s Foods will return to your pantry shelves.

We hope to see you at the Pride of Dakota Showcase at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, ND on November 14–15, 2025.

With gratitude,
The Cliff’s Foods Family

About us:

Cliff passed down a recipe to his son saying "You will never buy another spaghetti sauce in a jar again", and he never did.

For more than 20 years we have shared our pasta sauce with family and friends. Through the years everyone told us that we should market it but we would always joke “then it would be in a jar”.

We founded our company, Cliff’s Foods LLC, as a tribute to Cliff and to create a legacy for his grandchildren.

Our motto is simply to bring back flavor to the dinner table by giving not only good wholesome quality flavor to the dinner table but also providing after dinner beverages as well. That is why we took to expanding our flavor palate with Barbeque sauce, Bloody Mary and a Caesar Drink Mixes, all from original family recipes.
