About the farm tour:
Just around the corner from downtown Jacksonville, Congaree and Penn began as a rice farm. It’s flourished into acres of mayhaw orchards, olive orchards, vineyards and fruit fields. It's also become a home to thousands of honeybees, a few dozen fancy chickens, peafowl, Guinea fowl and two goats.
Guests are greeted at the Congaree and Penn quonset hut, where we mill our rice, manufacture our products, make our cider, keep our kitchen and host events. There you’ll find the patio, the cider garden, farm tables and chairs, and our farm shop and taproom. Hop on a tractor pulled farm wagon and enjoy a cruise through the farm. Your guide will make frequent stops to point out what's growing and what's happening at Congaree and Penn.
About Congaree & Penn:
Born in 2014, Congaree and Penn began as a tiny rice farm.
Since then, we've grown from four acres of rice paddies into a thriving farm of orchards, you pick vines and fields, and home to thousands of honeybees and fancy chickens. Congaree and Penn boasts the largest (and youngest) Mayhaw orchard in the world, after planting over 5,000 trees throughout the past few years. Native to the South, this fruit bearing tree has inspired us to seek out and plant other native and hearty Southern species.
In 2016, Congaree and Penn began juicing seasonal fruit from local farms to produce shrubs, our nod to a Colonial era pastime. As we expand our orchard and pressing and milling operations, Congaree and Penn continues to innovate and introduce new produce and products.
