Today’s photo was taken at 5 p.m. at Fearrington village, a community built on farmland in the township of Pittsboro in Chatham County, North Carolina. By car, it is no more than ten minutes away from our Chapel Hill home; scenery-wise, it is truly beautiful and very typical for rural North Carolina. The community got started in 1974 when a couple bought a 200 year-old dairy farm from Jesse Fearrington. The 640 acres comprising the farm had been staked out by Jesse’s great-great grandfather in 1786. Over the last 30 years, the community has grown to include over 1800 residents, a country inn and restaurant, an independent bookstore, a special breed of cows, and more. You can read all about the community on the Fearrington web site.
