A casual farm-to-table restaurant with a seasonal menu, full bar and its own beer brand is set to open in early 2026. Bounty Farmhouse Kitchen & Tap has snagged the corner spot in the Target shopping center.
This will be Bounty’s second location; the flagship opened in Fayetteville in September. Owner Chris Beal, a fifth-generation Chatham County native, plans a design that “brings the outside in,” with around 35 seats inside and 30 more on the patio.
His company, Tribeca Hospitality, also operates Tribeca Tavern in Cary and WCC Café in Morrisville. Chris owns Chatham Meat Company, a butcher shop with locations in Sanford and Siler City that supplies meat from small farms to the group’s restaurants. Bounty’s own beer brand is brewed at its Fayetteville location (the former home of Mash House Brewing Company).
Chris’s business model was inspired by pandemic-era scarcity. Scott Jankovictz, then his executive chef at Tribeca Tavern, couldn’t find any beef. Christ knew lots of farmers, and couldn’t understand why he seemed forced to source meat from a conglomerate.
“Chris turned to me in his country accent and said ‘well, I can get us a cow, but do you even know how to butcher it?'” says Scott, who now works as the GM of the Sanford butcher shop. “I told him ‘just get me a cow, man, and I’ll figure it out.'”
Chris delivered. Three nights, a few YouTube videos and a hand saw later, the two tasted the finished product. “The process and the flavor changed everything,” Scott says. The butcher shop opened in Sanford in 2022, and in Siler City in 2023. Then came Bounty. “There’s not many places that have their own brewery, butcher shop and restaurant. We’re trying to keep everything self-sustaining.”
“We want to be vertically integrated, understand where everything comes from, and continue to expand what we can do for farmers in central North Carolina,” Chris says.
The spring menu for food and beer is currently in production. For a preview, see the menus at the Fayetteville location here.
