About Us
One of 13 children in a family raised during the Depression, Cliff Clark got his first job in Bountiful, Utah at age five harvesting pickling onions. By the age of 12, he was driving a truck for a local farmer delivering produce to market.
Extremely resourceful and incredibly creative, Cliff spent the years after high school graduation (in 1936) making a variety of runs to neighboring states for loads of saleable, available produce. He built a network of contacts along the way and always found willing buyers when he returned.
After almost four years in the Army during WWII, Cliff returned to A&Z Produce Co. and became a partner. His reputation still alive with suppliers and customers alike, Cliff established A&Z Produce Co. as one of the largest wholesale produce suppliers in the Intermountain West.
Cliff brought on his three sons, Jay Dee, Steve, and Scott as partners in the early 1970s, helping to develop the company into the industry leader it is today. Now in its third generation of family ownership, with grandsons Jeff and Ryan taking the lead, the Clark family remains committed to sourcing premium quality produce, as well as delivering the highest standards of personal service, exceptional value, and unmatched integrity.
