Philosophy
We believe that good food is fresh food, and that local farmers are the cornerstone of vibrant cuisine. We proudly feature local products, including wild mushrooms, honey, olive oil, meats, and seafood—as well as abundant herbs and vegetables from our organic home garden. We favor a simple style, letting quality ingredients shine, and prepare everything from scratch. We source organic ingredients whenever possible.
Food and land bring people together, reminding us that life is to be savored and tended. In fact, we were drawn together through our passion for vibrant small-scale agricultural economies. We love being part of robust communities in Mendocino and Sonoma counties and are honored to practice land stewardship on our two farms. We are a small family business and have a lot of fun working together. We delight in watching families and friends join for special occasions, and in playing our small part.
We have many recipes we love to prepare, many of which follow here. That said, we know everyone’s palette is different and strive to create unique, meaningful menus to suit each client’s needs: we want our food to help embody your vision and are more than happy to prepare new dishes and accommodate needs.
Only The Freshest Ingredients

“Ellery Clark Catering & Produce catered our ~100 person wedding at the Mendocino Botanical Gardens and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the planning process to the execution, the team was superb and made every step enjoyable and pain-free. Their food was delicious, healthy and locally sourced and it felt great to know that our guests were getting the highest quality meal. It was truly a joy working with Ellery and his team and I’d highly recommend them for any event!“
“Ellery & Amber Clark catered our wedding in Fort Bragg this fall and were an absolute dream to work with. My husband is from Turkey, so we wanted to have Mediterranean cuisine which they were more than happy to accommodate. The menu was creative and featured pomegranate fig chicken, wild rice pilaf, lamb tagine, roasted fall and winter veggies with saffron yogurt and pistachio dukka.
– were raving about the food well into the night. Not only is the food tasty, but staff is friendly and attentive, and they are incredibly reasonably priced. Could not recommend them more highly!“
