The orchard invites quiet attention—ideal ground for poetry.
Set amidst cedar forest and apple trees, our residencies offer poets time and solitude to write, walk, reflect, and reconnect with language. Whether working on a manuscript or seeking space to begin, you’ll find inspiration in birdsong, misty hills, and the slow rhythm of life on the farm. There's no schedule—just room to write, and the welcome of a place that values the inner life.

Sunday evenings at the orchard are dedicated to poetry reading: an unhurried circle for sharing and discussing favourite poems—whether your own or those of poets you admire.
