Back to the farm! Come spend time with writerly friends at the lovely TandM Farms in Kittrell, North Carolina. Say hello to both the resident and visiting ruminants. If you get tired of writing, take a walk around the farm and embrace the Summer's heat!
If the heat is oppressive or the weather fervent, we'll be conducting all activities indoors, though plenty of seating will also be available outside for the bravest of us. The fire pit may be blazing, weather dependent.
