The Plant is a diverse 17-acre eco-industrial park on the east side of Pittsboro. They are the home to like-minded local economy-focused small businesses. The Plant has turned local commerce into an experience with an art gallery, many outdoor spaces for gatherings and events, spirits, ciders, meads, beers, a coffee roaster, walking trails, axe throwing, and farm-to-fork eateries. Hemp clothing, CBD products, native plants, and candles are also on site.
