Free event. Donations welcome.
Back to the farm! Come spend time with writerly friends at the lovely Tandem 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 shall likely remain cold for this event.
This casual day-long retreat is free for all of our CPWG participants to attend
