We spotlight a group in Ontario, Canada, is preparing to open Eli’s Place, a farm-based residential treatment program for young adults struggling with mental illness. It will be the first program of its kind in Canada. Co-founders David and Deborah Cooper were inspired to create Eli’s Place in memory of their son, Eli, whom they lost to suicide.

Prospective guests and family members often wonder if life at Gould Farm slows down in winter. Is there anything to do when it's so cold outside? Most people know that New England winters can be harsh and tend to picture spring, summer, or fall as our more active seasons – so it’s a fair question. We’re here to show you some of what we get up to in the colder months, staying just as active with our work program and activities as we do during the other three seasons!

We’re thrilled to share that the Gould Farm farm team has been awarded a Food Security Infrastructure Grant (FSIG) through the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) — a publicly funded investment of $108,765 that will allow us to renovate and modernize our creamery.
