Analog Write-In at Gather Farm

Ice cream will be available for purchase to help cool you down and fuel your writing!

About Gather Farm
Gather is a group of growers, artists and educators who build community through experiences in art, food and farming that includes Gather Glass, Gather Cafe and Gather Farm.
Gather Farm is a small scale, chemical free, regenerative farm situated on ten acres in Johnston that has a deep history of farming for the community for over 100 years. They believe in caretaking the land in a way that cultivates the health and vitality of the soil ecology, the living things that grow in it and on it, the people that engage with it and are nourished by it, and its intersection with the greater community.
Learn about their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program here, and sign up for a Goat Experience before or after the write-in here.
