The Production Farm is a professional behavioral health organization who aims to reimagine mental health in a way that meets individuals where they are at, through accessible, creative, and custom person centered programs. The farm focuses on experiential, project based programming through access to unique interests and vocations.

The organization was founded in 2014 as an after school arts program for foster youth in Northeastern Wisconsin, called the Urban Production Farm. The program combined the fundamentals of gardening and farming with independent filmmaking. In 2016 The Production Farm purchased its Farm property with the help of Nicolet Bank. It has served as garden programming space, a respite and foster home, a community corn maze, and now a full behavioral and mental health facility. In 2018 the program found it’s true strength, by growing the program and scope of the programs. Our growth in focus was upon the realization that our programs could have a much larger impact for a more diverse community. We were able to mould the strengths of what the Farm was already providing and found a way to give it to substantially more young people who were lacking in the care they were receiving.
