About

The Plant is a diverse 17-acre eco-industrial park located on the east side  of Pittsboro, North Carolina.  We are the home to like-minded local economy  focused small businesses.  The Plant haturned local commerce into an  experience with an art gallery, many outdoor spaces for gatherings and  events, amazing spirits, ciders, meads, beers, a coffee roaster and a farm to  fork kitchen that grows her food on site.  Hemp clothing and CBD products are  also part of the offerings.In the 1940's, it was part of an enormous flower farm, Sunshine Gardens or  Boardman’s Flower Farm and in the late ’80’s, The Plant was acquired by  Inco Alloys who constructed the four main buildings and used them to  manufacture metal alloys for military use.  Inco Alloys closed their plant in  1993.  Lyle Estill and Tami Schwerin bought the property in 2004 and have  renovated the industrial buildings.Today, The Plant is the home of the Chatham Beverage District, and as such,  home to Fair Game Beverage Company, with local NC delicacies, Chatham Cider  Works, Starrlight Mead and BMC Brewing.  We enjoy the smells of coffee from Vortex Roasters too!Activities include Chatham Axes (if you have aggression to release),  Pittsboro Electric Bikes for rent or sale, a Petanque court (kind of like  bocce ball) and a playground for little ones.  There are trails and lots of outdoor space to gather.
