If you are in need of actual help you won't find it at gould farm. They will suggest a insanely expensive inpatient program and after you are done give no guarantee you will be allowed back. What they will do is make wild assumption about who you are and what you need without taking the time to actually know you. The psychiatrists lack basic understanding of mental health problems and you basically need to pick a choose what to tell them for fear that they might misunderstand a basic problem and ask you to leave all the while allowing bullying and harassment to continue with no consequences. This place gives off a great illusion of caring when in fact they seem to only care about their status and how they look on paper. There are many other wonderful places out their that actually do care and have the knowledge to help.

Much better model than the alternative, Spring Lake Ranch. I attended both for some time, and found the staff at Gould Farm saw me for both who I am, and who I could be.A very kind, thoughtful, empowering culture, and not always but in general, wonderful people to be around.

The collection of 5 star reviews all left at the very same time 3 months ago by people who have never stayed at the farm, or were there years ago, might speak for itself!The farm sits on a heavenly and serene landscape but, unfortunately, the majority of staff who are in place to see residents through their mental health issues and/or addiction are not as effective as they could be or should be; overbearing when they needn't be, and aggressively at times, and very hands-off exactly when they shouldn't be. The farm's main focus seems to be their finances (understandable with so many staff to pay and feed!) so they tend to focus on, and hold on as tightly as possible to, residents who are the greatest financial assets with anyone on "scholarship" seen as less important and getting far less positive attention, some even treated as problematic.At its inception, Gould Farm set off with such good and pure intentions and, with some fine-tuning, redirected focus and reassessment, has the potential for greatness again someday.

What is this? A place for rich moms to take a break from their kids and cosplay as farmers? Because the majority of people who could truly benefit from a service like this have no way to ever get this kind of help help at $400 per day. That is shameful. If you’re working on the farm, why are you paying $400?

As a child of parents who worked at Gould Farm in the 1970s-1980s, I can attest to its trusting, fun, and purposeful community setting. I never distinguished between staff and guests because we were all just neighbors, friends, community members. The more I experience the world, the more I appreciate my childhood at Gould Farm!

I found that the environment Gould farm creates on a daily basis is always inclusive and welcoming to everyone, and that’s probably one of the biggest appeals there and it makes it really feel like a home. I’ve only ever had positive interactions with staff, guests, and families and it just warms my heart to witness a place that so many kind people can benefit from. Not to mention, the scenery around the farm is absolutely stunning, with healthy nature all around, it really adds to the healing environment that Gould farm creates.

I had the pleasure of working at Gould Farm for 5yrs and it is the work I’ve been most proud of in my professional career.Gould Farm works to heal the whole person in a unique setting that focuses on the whole body health of each person. Everyone is assigned a team of mental health professionals who personalize their experience based on that person’s diagnosis and needs). As part of their journey “Guests” (the term used in lieu of patients) live and work side by side with staff and their families; sharing goals, and practicing life skills through a work program. People are given the chance to see what an integral part their work plays in community, and to learn what value they provide.I love that Gould Farm offers weekly opportunities for folks to get to know each other and care for their bodies, as well as their minds, through things like soccer games, guided walks, meditation, yoga, etc., as well as trips to church services.Gould Farm is a the oldest therapeutic mental health community in the United States, and the reason it has been able to stay relevant over its 100+ years is the fluid nature of the community. Gould Farm should be the standard for mental health in the U.S., not the exception! During my experience working at the Farm I came to see and believe how daily teamwork, and being part of something bigger, really nourishes both the the body and soul in a way traditional therapy cannot.

Simply said, Gould Farm does incredible work. My family has been proud to support their work over the years through financial contributions to assist in providing guests in need with financial assistance.
