Greenfield Farm Writers Residency

Greenfield Farm is a 20.4-acre property located in the North Central Hills of Mississippi, approximately fifteen miles east of Oxford. Purchased by Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner in 1938, the land became a formative part of his creative world. After Faulkner’s death in 1962 and decades of changing hands, the University of Mississippi acquired the property in 1990.

In 2022, the Mississippi Lab at the University of Mississippi launched the /">Greenfield Farm Writers Residency, renewing the site’s life as a place where literature and landscape converge.
