Haley Hopkins

Haley Hopkins is the greenhouse manager at Congaree and Penn.

Born in 2014, Congaree and Penn began as a tiny rice farm. Since then, they've grown from four acres of rice paddies into a thriving farm of orchards, you pick vines and fields, and home to fancy chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, goats, horses, and thousands of honeybees. 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.
