Beginning in 1985, the man behind Pastor Chuck Orchards started a modest apple orchard in Cushing, on the
Mid-Coast of
Maine.
What to name the orchard? Well, it seems he’s an Episcopal Priest - now in private practice as a psychotherapist & organizational consultant.
He goes by his middle name, Waite, but was named after his great grandfather, Charles Waite.
Some time ago his cousin, Gail Weber, as a lark, gave him the name, "Pastor Chuck." Thus was born the perfect name for the orchard, "Pastor Chuck Orchards."
