Explore Congaree and Penn’s 330 acres.

All you need is a farm pass – it’s your ticket to access the farm grounds for the day. With a farm pass, you can enjoy a stroll through our sprawling acres anytime during business hours.

You’ll see the Little Trout River running through the property, the cypress trees that grow along its banks, and live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. During most seasons, wildflowers are scattered throughout the farm, and manicured mayhaw, olive, and pecan orchards abound. From great blue herons to black-bellied whistling ducks, and even the occasional roseate spoonbill, the farm is a bird watcher’s paradise. You’ll also see our goats, chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, emus, and horses from outside of their paddocks. If you’re game for a hike, walk deeper into the farm to discover trails, the oak hammock, beaver dams, more waterways, a wide open field, and our tree farm.

Farm passes are required for all guests ages two and older to enjoy the farm beyond the dining area. Farm passes are available to purchase upon arrival. Please note that farm passes are valid for one day only. Congaree and Penn does not offer seasonal or annual farm passes.

We have many feathered friends who live on our farm; please keep Fido away. Dogs are welcome on the patio, but please be mindful of other guests who are dining. Owners are responsible for escorting barking dogs away from the patio. Dogs must remain leashed at all times.

Are the farm grounds wheelchair & stroller accessible?

Beyond the dining area, the terrain is uneven. Some paths are paved with gravel, and others are natural, bumpier, and prone to puddles. You’re welcome to give it a shot!
