Located in New Gloucester’s beautiful green hills, Pineland Farms is a 5,000-acre farm, business campus, and recreational and educational venue. The farm is the former site of the Pineland Hospital and Training Center, which operated from 1908 to 1996 as the Maine School for the Feeble Minded and was later renamed. As a working farm, it was regarded as a model for the care and treatment of the mentally handicapped. In 2000, the farm was purchased and completely renovated by the Libra Foundation from Portland.

Today, Pineland is used mostly for public recreation. There are about 15.5 miles of hiking and cross country trails as well as trails for mountain biking and cyclo-cross. The trails are often used for students’ cross country training and races. Pineland is also used for orienteering competitions and championships as well as corporate meetings, weddings, retreats, picnics, and so on.
