Happy New Year from all of us at Fearrington Village! As we welcome 2026, we’re looking forward to a year filled with new goals, new offerings, and renewed inspiration across the Village. Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and kindness—you make this community vibrant, warm, and ever-evolving. We can’t wait to share all that’s ahead.
WHIRLIGIGS RETURN!
You may have noticed something special happening by The Belted Goat: one of our beloved Vollis Simpson's whirligigs has returned! Our team has been diligently restoring the three original whirligigs that once greeted guests at the Village entrance. One is now fully renovated and installed near the gravel seating area—and it looks spectacular. The Grounds Crew did a beautiful job bringing it back to life, and we can’t wait to reinstall the remaining two once their repairs are complete.
THE BELTED GOAT
Start the new year with something warm and comforting—our winter soups, pastries, and hot coffees are the perfect antidote to January chill. Settle in by the window, watch the barns and pastures, and enjoy a cozy moment to yourself.
For the little set, we have Johanna Banana's weekly Thursday readings at 10:30 am, and our monthly North Carolina Poetry Society reading is Sunday the 25th at 2 pm. Join us!
