Recently, our Fellside Skills Group completed a deeply moving series of life-story sharing sessions. Participants spoke openly—some about mental health and recovery, others with humor or reflection. All stories were real. All mattered.

We are thrilled to officially announce a landmark partnership between Gould Farm and the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center (SCUA) of the UMass Amherst Libraries. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our longstanding effort to preserve and share the history and legacy of Gould Farm with a broader audience.

Mark Alan Murray, a longtime Residential Advisor and Recovery Coach at Gould Farm, has released a powerful new work titled Of Nod: A Poetic Memoir. Written in a voice that is both personal and daring, the book explores Mark’s journey through addiction, schizophrenia, and healing with raw vulnerability and lyrical beauty.
