Farming Pineland Farms has undertaken an aggressive and committed
approach to farming, based upon the following basic principles:
- Build (or rebuild) the most efficient barns possible.
- Employ smart, professional farmers who are committed
to local Maine agriculture. We believe farming
techniques must advance to keep farms in Maine viable
as a food
source.
- Continue to breed the very best animals possible
and to accept nothing short of superior results.
Our hope is that those sharing
our commitment to excellence in agriculture will find
Pineland Farms an ideal supplier of fresh farm goods,
as well as a place to visit.
The registered livestock owned by Pineland Farms and
raised for breeding, education and production purposes
includes Holstein dairy cows, Angus beef cattle, Polled
Dorset sheep and Icelandic sheep. Pineland also owns llamas,
chickens and a draft horse.
In
addition to animal operations, Pineland Farms is creating
superior research and educational opportunities in Maine
by aligning its operations with universities, other
farmers, educators and biotechnology businesses. Our
farming internships, "Calves for College" program
and the Northeast Katahdin Hair Sheep Project [weblink]
are some of the fascinating examples of the education
and research based initiatives underway at Pineland
Farms.
