R.B. Fitch and his late wife Jenny purchased the Fearrington farm in 1974 and began carefully crafting the village of Fearrington. On the site of the farm’s working hub, and inspired by their visits to intimate, charming European villages, they created the Village Center.
Now a collection of unique restaurants, shops, and an inn set amidst extensive gardens, pastures containing award-winning Belted Galloway cows and the farm’s original farm structures including the Barn, it also offers the perfect setting for special events, especially elegant southern weddings. Anchoring the Village Center is The Fearrington House Country Inn and Restaurant, both members of Relais & Chateaux, an association of the finest restaurants and hotels in the world.
The farmhouse restaurant, recognized for its sophisticated contemporary American cuisine, is the only Green Certified TM AAA Five Diamond restaurant in the country. Fearrington is located 8 miles south of Chapel Hill, NC.
