Hmm, good question. I don't recall really seeing any pumpkin patches in the immediate area. That's not to say there aren't any, as I haven't actively searched.
There's Pumpkintown up near Greenville, but that may be too far (1.5-2 hours) to drive for what you're looking to do. They also have the Pumpkintown Mountain Opry, which is just down from Table Rock State Park (if you and your family were into camping/hiking then this is something you could look into and knock both out in one weekend).
