About the Festival

The aim of Terroir is to build a stronger literary community in our area by encouraging and spotlighting local writers while also making connections with the writing and publishing community beyond Yamhill County, but you don’t have to be a writer to attend.

Anyone interested in writing, reading, and the literary life will find something to enjoy. The festival is open to anyone age 12 and up.
