Pineland Farms Inc.

Pineland Farms Inc., operating as Pineland Farms Market & Welcome Center and located in New Gloucester, Maine, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered with SAM.gov since June 2011. The organization has established itself as a provider of adaptive sports programming and cultural services, leveraging federal grant funding to support veterans with disabilities and advance artistic endeavors. Through its federal grant awards, Pineland Farms has demonstrated expertise in developing and implementing comprehensive therapeutic and recreational programs that enhance the quality of life for vulnerable populations, particularly disabled veterans and members of the armed forces.

Pineland Farms has successfully secured multiple federal grant awards totaling over $276,000 primarily through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The organization has been awarded five consecutive Project Grants under the VA Grants for Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces program (CFDA 64.034), spanning from August 2021 through September 2026, with individual awards ranging from approximately $106,000 to $169,000. These grants enabled Pineland Farms to plan, develop, manage, and implement adaptive sports programming including skiing, snowboarding, cycling, equine therapy, water sports, and outdoor recreation activities specifically designed for veterans with disabilities including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Beyond its veteran-focused mission, Pineland Farms also received a Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in June 2022 to support the identification, documentation, and convening of woodworkers, demonstrating the organization's broader commitment to cultural preservation and community engagement. The organization has consistently operated as a prime awardee with no reported subcontractors, managing all programming and implementation activities independently.
