A historic 200-year-old family farm offering traditional pumpkin-patch experience with scenic barns and old trees, but 2026 dates, hours, and pricing are not published—you must confirm operation before visiting.
Pricing not available
Pittman’s Pumpkin Patch is a gamble—but it may be worth it. The farm has a 200-year history as a family operation and clearly maintains a real property with historic barns and old trees—genuinely appealing for fall photography and rural charm. But the website hasn’t been updated since 2013, and the farm has published zero dates, hours, or pricing for 2026. Before you drive to Hamer, you must call 843.845.2190 and confirm the farm is operating.
Pumpkins, mums, wheat straw, hay, and deer corn. The emphasis on field access and the historic property suggests a traditional, low-infrastructure farm experience—not a carnival or multi-activity destination. If you’re seeking unselfconscious, rustic pumpkin-picking with authentic farm atmosphere and genuine agricultural character, this is the target. If you want mazes, rides, play structures, or organized activities, this farm doesn’t deliver that.
A 200-year family farm is a strong signal for longevity and authenticity. An outdated website is not. It could mean the farm operates seasonally (picking season only), relies on word-of-mouth and local knowledge, has stopped fall operations entirely, or is simply not web-savvy. There’s no way to know without calling directly.
The record explicitly states that 2026 dates and hours require direct contact. This is not a farm you can show up to on a Saturday morning and expect to find open. Call 843.845.2190 early in September and ask:
If the farm is operating, budget 1–2 hours. Pumpkin selection takes 20–30 minutes if you’re unhurried or browsing sizes. Wandering the property, photographing historic barns and old trees, and chatting with farm staff or other visitors fills the rest. There’s no hayride or maze, so time is your own. Families with very young kids or those needing structured entertainment may find it sparse. Families interested in rural character and photography will find it appealing.
Hamer is deeply rural, inland from the Lowcountry coast, in the red-soil and clay country of the Pee Dee. October weather is mild (low-to-mid 70s daytime, 50s–60s evenings). The lack of nearby major attractions means this is a dedicated farm visit, not part of a multi-stop outing. If you’re interested in rural Pee Dee agriculture, family history, and authentic farm atmosphere, it’s worth the commitment. For a casual pumpkin-grabbing trip from a metro area, it requires more planning and flexibility.
No information is available. Call 843.845.2190 to ask about admission cost and what’s included. Cash-only operations are common in rural areas, so bring cash and confirm when you call. Mums, wheat straw, hay, and deer corn are supplementary farm products, not the core draw.
The farm’s 200-year barns and old trees are the real draw for families interested in rural character and fall photography. If you’re looking for a scenic, low-key farm outing with genuine agricultural atmosphere (not commercial pumpkin entertainment), the historic property has appeal. The lack of crowds, commercial noise, and activity structures makes it quieter and more contemplative than typical pumpkin patches.
Pittman’s Pumpkin Patch has genuine charm, history, and rural authenticity. But the lack of published information makes it a high-uncertainty visit. If you live in the Dillon County area or have flexibility to confirm details early, it’s worth exploring. If you’re planning a trip from far away or need certainty about operation and hours, pick one of the farms with current, published information instead.
October if the farm confirms it is operating; historic property and natural scenery suggest fall photography and quiet rural outings are the draw.
