Venue Features
The scene:
For two centuries, the Fearrington farm has dotted the landscape between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The farm, now a 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. The rustic charm is escalated by the Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond service provided by The Fearrington House Inn and Restaurant.
Design:
The Village Center and restaurants incorporate original farm structures (such as the farm's granary and dairy barn) that have been refurbished to create a rustic elegance unmatched by others.

On-site guests can enjoy seasonal live music at our beer garden Roost, our independent bookstore, a fashion boutique, Forbes Four-Star Spa, wine classes, and more!
