Берем дуб, выпускаем липу is a perfect Russian translation of what an idiot farm is designed to do. The phrase literally means you "take an oak -дуб in russian- ( an oak in Russian is also a stupid individual ) and produce a linden tree- липу in Russian- (a linden in Russian is also called a fake intellectual)".
