We’re starting to see the weather cool and everyone is already decorating for fall. Hooray!!! If you still need to grab your pumpkins for decorating and carving then this guide to the pumpkin patches in Myrtle Beach (and a few beyond) should be helpful!
pumpkin patches on local farms
These are the big ones where you’ll pay an entry fee to enjoy all the experiences of the farm. They’ll also have pumpkins there but they’re much more than a pumpkin patch!
Thompsons Farm & Nursery | You’ll find tons of fall fun here, including small and large pumpkins. They’re open Friday–Sunday from mid-September until the end of October. Admission is $12, kids 2 and under are free.
Southern Palmetto Farms | This farm in Aynor is also full of farm fun plus a pumpkin patch. Their opening day is Sept 24, then in October they’ll be open Friday-Sunday until the end of the month. Admission is $12.
the smaller ones (church & ROAD SIDE)
These are smaller and usually hosted by a church or other small business. They’ll either have no entry fee or a minimal one. You’ll simply pay for your pumpkins and whatever other items/experiences you choose to enjoy.
Mary Beth’s Sustainable Foods | 11151 Ocean Hwy, Pawleys Island. Offering a variety of sizes and colors plus lots of other seasonal produce.
