August 21, 2024 — Cooke USA is celebrating 20 years of aquaculture operations in Maine and has changed its brand logo from Cooke Aquaculture USA to Cooke USA.
The company operates marine farms in Downeast Maine, a salmon processing plant in Machiasport and three land-based freshwater hatcheries in the state, supplying Atlantic salmon to grocery stores and restaurants in New England and the United States.
