Welcome to Sam's Produce, Inc.
SAM'S PRODUCE was started in 1929 by Salvatore (Sam) Iannacito. He worked with local farmers and hauled a full line of produce and vegetables to the old City Market in Denver, Colorado. Sam sold these fruits and vegetables from his wagon.
​Sam’s son, Richard, started his own wholesale operation in Denargo Market specializing in tomatoes. The company incorporated in 1965. Richard, with the help of his wife, Patricia, built a 30,000 square foot facility in 1982. The location is northeast of Denargo Market at 5105 Cook Street and has eight refrigeration rooms, each capable of holding two semi-loads worth of product.
Rich’s son, Scott, entered the business full-time in 1982. He implemented a food safety program after he was HACCP certified in 1991. The program is approved by the USDA and is audited yearly by a third party (Siliker or Primus Labs) in addition to the Army. Scott began a food processing division in 2008 which now includes slicing and dicing of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. The company has researched state of the art processing and packaging equipment from around the globe.
