Pittsboro, NC - Gourmet Magazine has recognized The Fearrington House as one of America's Best Farm-To-Table Restaurants for Romantic and Special Occasion dining. The feature, in Gourmet's October issue, highlights restaurants, hotels, and inns whose chefs are taking locally sourced ingredients in new and exciting directions.

From www.gourmet.com: "Graham Fox, the young English-born chef at this sophisticated restaurant in a bucolic area outside Chapel Hill...... gets almost everything on his seasonally changing menu exactly right. Fish is cooked flawlessly; local vegetables
(from salsify to pointy head cabbage) are bright and flavorful. He also has a remarkable sense of textural contrast, and creations such as breast of Cornish hen with sweetbreads, artichokes, and bacon polenta and saddle of rabbit with pistachios, morels, and peas are three-star stuff."

The Fearrington House receives exceptional homegrown produce from small, family run farms in Chatham and neighboring counties in North Carolina. Yellow Wax Beans, Corn and Peppers are provided by Robeson Creek Farm in Moncure; Squash, Rutubaga, Beets and Cucumbers from Duckwood Farms in Moncure, Goat Cheese from Celebrity Goat Farm in Siler City; and Egg
Plant and Peppers from Flat River Farms in Timberlake. Herbs, micro herbs, and a selection of vegetables are also grown organically at Fearrington.

The Fearrington House, North Carolina's only AAA Five Diamond Restaurant, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 6-9pm and Sunday 6-8pm.
