Here are some common questions:
Q: Does Congaree and Penn grow the pumpkins at the farm?
A: They don't. Unfortunately, pumpkins don't grow well on their land, but they are lucky enough to know great Virginia farmers who share their pumpkins with Floridians.
Q: How much do the pumpkins cost?
A: Mini pumpkins are $5. Small pumpkins are $10. Medium pumpkins are $10. Large pumpkins and heirloom are $15. Prize Winning pumpkins (they’re huge!) are $75.
Q: What are the pumpkin patch's hours?
A: The pumpkin patch will be open October 10th through the 19th, Wednesday - Saturday from 10:00 am - 8:30 pm, and Sunday from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
Q: What else can I do at Congaree and Penn?
A: There’s a whole farm to enjoy. Sip some cider (or beer and wine), enjoy a farm tour (Fridays and Sundays at 10:30 am), let the kids run free, take your dog on a walk, take yourself on a walk, and savor the outdoors.
Q: Does the patch accept credit cards?
A: Of course; they live in 2018, too.
Q: Can you make reservations?
A: No.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: Well behaved dogs on leashes are always welcome. Please clean up after Fido (and take the droppings with you, even if you've used a biodegradable bag), and please keep your canine companions away from the chickens and goats.
Q: Do I need to worry about snakes and alligators (and lions and tigers and bears) at the farm?
A: Not really. They've never seen an alligator at the farm. They haven't seen a snake in over a year. The wildest thing you'll likely see is their rooster (steer clear). But the great outdoors is full of surprises.
