Greenfield Farm to Become Mississippi’s First Writers Retreat

Greenfield Farm, also known as Faulkner’s Mule Farm, is set to become Mississippi’s first writers retreat. The farm, where William Faulkner wrote and enjoyed the outdoors, is the site of the new project.

John T. Edge and Jim Gulley spoke about the initiative during the annual Faulkner Literary Luncheon in New Albany, which coincides with the author’s birthday. The event drew attendees interested in celebrating Faulkner’s legacy and supporting the new retreat.

The project aims to preserve Faulkner’s historic farm while providing a space for writers to work and connect. Organizers hope the retreat will attract writers from around the country to Mississippi, enriching the state’s literary culture.

Additional details about the project and related events are available through the event’s organizers. The luncheon featured discussions, music, and videos related to Faulkner’s life and works.
