Fearrington Village

Fearrington Village

Fearrington Village is a community located on farmland dating back to the 1700s in Pittsboro, North Carolina, just minutes from Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh.

The community began in 1974 when R.B. Fitch and his late wife Jenny purchased the two-centuries old dairy farm from Jesse Fearrington. Jesse inherited the farm that was started by his great-great grandfather, William Cole who staked out a 640-acre claim in 1786. They named the community Fearrington to honor the stewardship of Jesse and his forebears.

The Fitches slowly began to craft a unique community from the rolling pastures and wooded acres of the farm, where residents would enjoy dining, relaxing, shopping and living.

Avid travelers, the Fitches admired the smaller villages of England and modeled the Fearrington Village Center after those they visited. They wanted to create a "coming together place" where one could pick up daily necessities, have lunch with friends, and enjoy an English garden setting.

Over the last 30 years the community has grown to include over 1800 residents, an award-winning country inn and restaurant (The Fearrington House), Belted Galloway cows, a cafe & bar, chocolate and wine shop, an independent bookstore, a home décor shop, plants and garden art shop and more.
