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.

This summer was as busy and beautiful as any on the Farm! With many new staff joining the community and the usual number of projects and special activities (such as hosting an Artist in Residence and substantial improvements to Diane's Trail) taking place, there was also no shortage of peaceful beauty and quiet sunrises to soak in. With this post, staff share some of those moments, enjoying the land we get to call home.

From June 25–27, 2026, Gould Farm hosted the third annual Psychosis Care & Connection retreat, partnering with Ellenhorn and the Austen Riggs Center. Sponsored by various clinical organizations, the retreat aimed at improving care for adults with severe mental illness, especially those dealing with psychosis.
