Located in Landrum, SC, this festive fall destination is all about celebrating pumpkin season! Visitors can explore a charming pumpkin patch filled with gourds of every shape and size, perfect for decorating, carving, or baking something sweet. Beyond the pumpkins, families can enjoy a winding corn maze, cozy Saturday hayrides, and fresh apple cider paired with stunning mountain views.

I really loved how you could see the mountains from the pumpkin patch. We brought a picnic and enjoyed the views before exploring the farm. They also have an amazing variety of pumpkins in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors with a book that you can reference to identify what type of pumpkins you picked.
