Panek Farm

Panek Farm is a for-profit agricultural producer registered as a partnership or limited liability partnership in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 18, 2019. The farm primarily engages with the federal government through grant awards focused on energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy system development. While specific details about Panek Farm's operations are not provided, it is likely a rural agricultural enterprise that produces crops or livestock, given its participation in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs designed for agricultural producers.

Panek Farm has received multiple federal grant awards from the USDA's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). These Project Grants have supported the farm's efforts to reduce energy costs and consumption, as well as expand its use of renewable energy sources. Specific activities funded by these grants include the installation of solar panels, wind turbines, energy-efficient lighting, and improved building insulation. The farm's most recent award, received on February 28, 2024, provides $162,698 for a two-year project focused on energy efficiency improvements. This builds upon prior REAP grants totaling $326,735 awarded in 2019 and 2020 for renewable energy system projects. These consecutive awards demonstrate Panek Farm's ongoing commitment to implementing sustainable energy practices in its agricultural operations and its continued participation in USDA initiatives promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption in rural areas.
