Pittston Farm is a historic farm and community complex in a remote part of northern Somerset County, Maine. Located down logging roads about 20 miles (32 km) north of the village of Rockwood, the farm was developed c. 1910 by the Great Northern Paper Company to provide food and other resources to workers on logging drives in Maine's northern forests. It is believed to be the best preserved of the few such facilities established, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Its surviving buildings are currently operated as a tourist establishment.
