Pastor Chuck Orchards Partners for Growth


Responding to growing consumer demand and committed to aggressive growth, Pastor Chuck Orchards has joined forces with Crown O' Maine Organics and Fresh Food Sales & Marketing to expand distribution in Maine and throughout New England.

Pastor Chuck's natural apple products are already carried in nearly 100 stores in more than a dozen states. These numbers are sure to grow as a result of partnering with two of the region's most respected and successful distributors.

Crown O' Maine Organics started in 1995, and distributes locally grown produce across the length and breadth of Maine. Pastor Chuck's apple butter and applesauce are wonderful complements to its growing line of value-added products.

Fresh Food Sales & Marketing, headquartered in Framingham, MA, began nearly a decade ago and quickly became a household name in specialty and grocery stores throughout New England. The company will act as a conduit between Pastor Chuck Orchards and retailers, marketing its natural apple products and helping secure shelf space in stores big and small.

Further positioning Pastor Chuck Orchards in the marketplace, the organization has also established a relationship with Ship-Right Solutions - a fulfillment house in South Portland, ME. This allows experts in logistics, customer service, and order fulfillment to concentrate on getting product to market while Pastor Chuck Orchards focuses on expanding its marketing and sales efforts.
