Plow And Hearth

Plow & Hearth is a specialty retailer offering a curated selection of products for the home, hearth, yard, and garden, serving customers both online and through a small network of physical stores. The company was founded in 1980 in Madison, Virginia, originally starting as a catalog business dedicated to unique, high-quality goods that enhance outdoor living and home comfort. Over the years, Plow & Hearth broadened its assortment to include furniture, décor, fire pits, and seasonal merchandise, gradually building a reputation for durable products and attentive service.

A significant milestone in the company’s history came in 2016, when Evergreen Enterprises, a Richmond-based home and garden décor conglomerate, acquired Plow & Hearth. This acquisition enabled the brand to strengthen its sourcing and distribution capabilities while maintaining its distinct identity. As of November 2025, Plow & Hearth operates eight stores, primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic region, with its headquarters still in Madison, Virginia. The company’s current focus is on optimizing its existing store base and investing in its e-commerce platform, rather than expanding its physical footprint. No new store openings are planned in the coming year, with efforts centered on digital growth and operational efficiency.

Over the past five years, Plow & Hearth has evolved by prioritizing its digital presence and refining in-store experiences, adapting to changing retail trends while maintaining steady performance across its core markets in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. The brand’s established reputation, multi-channel retail approach, and measured growth strategy position it as a stable and credible tenant in lifestyle centers and destination retail environments. Plow & Hearth continues to attract a loyal customer base by focusing on experiential retail and a thoughtfully curated product selection, navigating broader shifts in the retail landscape with resilience.
