A TRIBUTE FROM PASTOR CHUCK


Maine and the specialty food industry have lost a dear friend and passionate promoter of all things organic. Jim Cook founded the Maine distribution company Crown of Maine Organics Cooperative in 1995. His purpose was to distribute locally grown produce across the length and breadth of Maine.

He and his organization certainly succeeded. Jim’s vision of providing quality foods to the community has caught on and has been a driving force for both producers and vendors.

Pastor Chuck Products has so benefited from what Jim accomplished, and we are a proud vendor in his distribution system. We are delighted that Jim's family and staff will continue this key part of the Maine food enterprise.
