For two centuries, the Fearrington farm has dotted the landscape
between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The farm, now an
vibrant village consisting of shops, restaurants and a country inn,
still features rolling pastures, farm animals, the dairy barn and
silo, and other farm structures. Several of these original buildings
have been re-adapted and now form the heart of the Village Center.
Today the farm continues to be an important part of our business.
Hay from our fields feeds our farm animals, the pastures provide
safe shelter for our
Belted Galloway cows, and gardens and a greenhouse behind the
Fearrington House Restaurant provide fruits, vegetables and herbs
used in its cuisine. We also purchase fresh produce from area farms,
either directly or through the Fearrington Farmers Market, held
weekly in the Village Center, April through Thanksgiving.
Since 1982, Belted Galloway cows have roamed the pastures
surrounding the Village Center. Also knows as "oreo cows", our
Belties consistently bring home local and national awards in their
category. Other farm animals at Fearrington include a herd of black
and white Tennessee Fainting goats and a family of protective
donkeys.
The Farm is the perfect place to bring family and friends for a
fun day out. While you're here, tour the beautiful gardens, stop at
The Belted
Goat for ice cream, pick up your own
plush
Beltie and visit our
boutique
shops.
