From June 25–27, 2026, Gould Farm co-hosted the 3rd annual Psychosis Care & Connection retreat with Ellenhorn and the Austen Riggs Center. This event brought together practitioners nationwide to advance humanistic care for adults experiencing severe mental illness and psychosis. If you missed it, we have great news: the insightful presentations and video recordings from the retreat are now available for viewing!

This summer, Gould Farm’s Agnes cheese won a Gold Medal at the 2026 Big E, placing us among New England’s top artisan cheesemakers. But our creamery is more than a production facility; it is a therapeutic work team where adults recovering from mental health challenges build confidence and purpose. We recently completed a major renovation to create a bright, modern space that matches the quality of our guests' work. Every wheel of Agnes tells a powerful story of craftsmanship

What is happening beyond the fenceline of the Farm, out in the wider mental health field? As the fall conference season gets underway, Gould Farm staff are packing their bags to take our work nationwide, sharing insights, presenting research, and engaging with colleagues, allies, and those with lived experience.
