We started getting our produce delivered from here about a month ago and there is no going back. It's a simple service as long as you are in the delivery zones, you shoot an email with your selections for the week and your fresh produce finds its way right to your front door. I haven't been to the farm myself but husband and our son went this past October on a field trip for school and they said it was a beautiful and relaxing afternoon. read more

Took the kids out to their pumpkin patch!! The grounds are awful!! The playground if you want to call it that had broken toys. The grounds were full of old rusted equipment and looked more like a JUNK YARD than a place to buy pumpkins! The Hay ride went through the junk yard on the way to feed the cows!!! There was nothing good about our experience there!!!! read more

Where do I being. This place was bad on so many levels. 1. The pumpkin patch was a joke, at first sight it doesn't look bad it's a decent size, but then with closer inspection all of the medium to large pumpkins were rotting in the patch. There were a lot of small pumpkins. 2. On your walk to the "petting zoo" you are lucky enough to pass by, a broken washing machine, a dryer, and just piles and piles of junk. The animal area had some miniature donkeys, a large aggressive pig, a baby pig, 2 goats, a bunny, and a chicken. They sell food up front to feed the animals but I'm not sure what animals that food is for because all the signs say don't feed the animals. Also there is horse you can ride in a circle for $3 3. The line to purchase the hayride tickets was crazy long and the line for the hayride that starts at the beginning of the trash pile was super long. We decided to not waste our time with it. 4. The playground area had 6 swings I believe one slide and a bounce house. 5. The service at the food lines is slow, lots of kids working. So to fair here are some positives 1. It's only a $1 to get in, the hayride is $3 for kids and $5 adults 2. There was a cute build your scarecrow station for $10 3. They do take credit cards for somethings but not everything I would bring cash it's much quicker, that is if you feel like checking it out. I would say a hard pass on this place. read more

I brought my family (10 of us, including in-laws, nieces, & nephews) on Saturday afternoon to experience the pumpkin patch. We arrived around 3pm and they were open until 6pm. Parking was super easy. No fuss parking. We decided to first walk to the playground to let the kids / teens get some energy out. On our way there, we noticed the corn cob canon, and this in itself was worth the price of admission. For $1 you get two shots out of an air canon to fire a cob of corn at a target out in the field. Hit the target and you get a free pumpkin. What we didn't realize, was that when the cobs started flying, the animals (cows, pigs, etc) come running out for their air delivered snacks. No animals were harmed in production of this review. We spent at least $10 at this canon. The playground was fun, and gave grandparents several areas to take pictures with the kids. We then bought hayride tickets at the concession stand and waited our turn. They also had food, sno-cones, scarecrow kits (bags of hay), and a gem mining facility. The hayride was epic. The tractor was driven by Helen Legare Floyd herself, and she was a great guide. She took us out to a field / pasture and we were given nuggets of food for the animals. I had no idea there would be so many, and they would be so hungry. Pigs and cows as far as the eye could see all swarmed the tractor and it's occupants. No people were harmed, but watch your fingers just in case. The ride lasted about 15 minutes, most of which was us parked in the field feeding the animals. Again, well worth the cost for all involved. Following this trip, we walked over to the pumpkin patch and I found a nice pumpkin to take home, with the help of the various opinions that the kids had. Overall, a really good time, and I can't wait to come back and support this family farm that has been around since 1725. There are other farms in town, but this one keeps the family atmosphere without feeling too commercialized like some others on the other side of the river. read more

We purchased a voucher for 4 people for $20 on-line to attend the pumpkin patch, maze and hayride at Legare. There was lots of parking available. Bring cash because that is all they took for horse rides, food and more. The sign for the maze was kind of hard to find but if you walk straight in main entrance, past the handwashing station, make a right and then left past the gem mining you should be able to find it. Note: This is not a corn maze! It is a hedge maze. Bring bug spray!! I had mosquitos all over my face. The hayride area would benefit from an organized line. It was a little chaotic once more people began arriving. The ride was the highlight for most in our group though because they really enjoyed feeding the cows (Major slobber alert! Bring some wipes or a paper towel with you unless you don't mind a gooey hand!) The pumpkin patch was fun for the kids and the prices reasonable for a local farm. Great deal and we will definitely return next year. read more

Legare Farms - Cooking up some fresh veggies from our local Legare Farms!! - Farms Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

This amazing farm on Johns Island has an excellent selection of vegetables and meats, and frequently hosts community events such as the Pumpkin Patch, hayrides, baby chick adoptions, and farm tours. The Legare family has been farming this land for eleven generations, through good years and dark times (wars, depressions, droughts, epidemics, etc.), and I'm disappointed that some individuals and businesses want to judge Thomas Legare based on a sarcastic comment he used to generate discussion. Although posted on his personal page, these people decided to attract his family's business and attempt to destroy this integral part of Johns Island and its history. I hope none of you have ever had a lapse in judgment or had something you've said misunderstood, and I hope no one organized an attack against you, your families, or your livelihood. Therefore, if you want quality goods and services, I highly recommend Legare Farms! read more

Legare Farms does a "rent a chick", where a person pays upwards of $50 to rent chicks for two weeks, and then return them. If you return them, you get $25 back. They rent these chicks to inexperienced people, with little to no advice or aid in understanding how to help raise chicks. I had a woman in tears due to the fact that her chicks were aspirating on water, because they told her to syringe feed the chicks! One chick she rented is now dead, and the other will most likely be. They gave her food, which isn't chick food, and told her to use a heating pad, not a heating lamp on the chicks. This is completely wrong!!! This is misuse of animals, and setting everyone up for failure. Shame on you, Legare Farms!! read more

I went to this pumpkin patch a few years ago. I wanted to go to the pumpkin patch with my boyfriend who lives on Johns Island and remembered how great Legare was last time I went. Needless to say we were very disappointed. I remember it being in a different part of the farm and being much larger. This time was very different. Every single pumpkin we touched was rotting or had mold on it or was falling apart. We ended up not even getting any pumpkins since we could not even find any that were half decent. It was fairly disappointing and we will not be back. On the upside, we did see a pig when we were driving in. I will be going to Boone Hall or a church later this week to find a decent pumpkin. read more

Soo much potential but sadly not so great. Attended a child's birthday party this weekend and was shocked at the condition. Pony ride was great, hay ride was underwhelming including it stopping so the driver could go behind a pile of wood chips to pee . Property looks a bit like a children's playground inside a junk yard...rusting hulks of old metal and trash all over. Picnic tables are super old wooden "splinter dispensers" and staff was generally indifferent to requests. read more

I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, when I walked out of my office yesterday to get some sun and found the rolling market outside. I literally yelped (no pun intended) out loud in excitement. I'd never noticed them at work before so asked what the deal was and they said it was their first day at the location and their plan is to come every Wednesday from 11:30-1. They had a rather large offering of provender including: cucumbers, oranges, grapes, apples, zucchini, strawberries, cabbage, collards, green beans, squash, golden beets, potatoes, rutabaga, and others that I can't remember. They also had a refrigerator filled with raw milk, butter, chocolate milk, bacon, fresh eggs, and more. And a freezer full of a variety of cuts of chicken, pork, and beef (including stock bones). Additionally, they had a large selection of jarred preserves and pickled stuffs. I skipped back upstairs to get my wallet and to my car to grab my farmers market bags from my trunk and filled them up with groceries. What a fantastic thing, to be able to grocery shop at work. Helen and Linda drive all the way out from their farm on John's Island so can't really afford to come much more than that. The ladies rattled off their tentative schedule for stops but I wasn't able to catch all of it. They are also still taking locations so if you are interested give them a call. Once they have all their stops scheduled and filled they will update their website. She said they won't be going in to Summerville because it's just too far for their two lady operation. I explored their website when I got back to my desk and they seem like a fantastic establishment. Family owned since 1725, talk about Charleston history (if you live in Charleston and haven't heard the name Legare yet then I'd be a bit perplexed). They " sell locally-raised and chemical-free beef, pork and chicken products. You can purchase items as they become available. Or, best of all, you can reserve your meat in advance by joining the Butchers Club." Their animals are free range and grass fed (the beef is grain finished). "Eating locally grown beef offers more "good" fats, and fewer "bad" fats. Grass-fed beef is richer in antioxidants such as vitamin E, beta-carotene and vitamin C. Meat produced from small lots has fewer traces of added hormones, antibiotics or other drugs -- common ingredients in most commercial meat -- that you ultimately digest when chomping down on that burger. Whether fed corn, grain or grass, we smaller farmers offer superior product in comparison with that of commercial feedlots." Research supports the transition back to multi-use multicrop farms versus the massive monocrop (monoCRAP) farms that have risen in popularity over the last few decades. Small multipurpose farms nourish the land and are much more sustainable. Not to get crunchy on you but it is vital to our planet to support small farms such as Legare. They seem pretty active in the community whether by hosting events at the farm like mud-runs and festivals but also have many educational opportunities and partnerships. Currently, here is where they go (from what I can remember, which is regrettably little): Tuesdays I know they have stops on Tuesdays but can't remember where!!! Sorry :( Maybe North Charleston or James Island? Wednesdays Celadon Warehouse 11:30-1 NCH Nursing Home in West Ashley 2-4 Wild Oaks pool (?) from 4:30-6 Thursdays Various locations in Mt Pleasant, including one of the Montessori schools (she couldn't remember which one but I'm guessing Sundrops (?) behind whole foods) Check their website (and support small farms)! read more

A non-profit set up to educate people, especially children on the low country. They have a rent-a-chick program!!!!!!!!! I am only in town six weeks, but I have been dying to participate in a rent-a-chick program for the looooonnnngest! You pay 25 dollars and you get to keep and love the chicks for 2 weeks...bedding, housing, food all provided! They also have a CSA (community supported argiculture) program...think local, fresh, non-GMO delciousness. Also, they have a similar butcher's program. They also host special events like the upcoming mud run. Charleston is lucky to have such a nice organization...support your local farms!!!! read more

I have never been to the actual farm site but the rolling produce truck comes to my workplace every other week. I love having fresh, local produce roll right up so I can go buy some on my lunch break! They have more than just a wide selection of fruits and veggies! They have things like jams, salas, honey, pimento cheese, boiled peanuts, butter, and meats. There are a TON of offerings. Everything I've gotten has been fresh and tasty. They are super friendly and the prices are good, better than I've seen at farmer's Markets. I can't say enough about the produce truck. If it's in your area it's worth checking out. Their non-produce offerings are interesting and some things that you can't find in big box super markets. read more

If you want your kids to see a real farm not a fake "amusement park" imitation, this is the place to go. Real people making a living farming in a beautiful setting, sharing their farm home with you. Farm animals roaming around and lots of educational activities. It doesn't get better and I promise your kids will thank you for bringing them. If you just want a pumpkin, go to Publix. If you want a cheesy kid's birthday party, go to Chucky Cheese. This is the REAL DEAL. read more

Real hay rides, pumpkins actually from the patch, cow feeding, pony riding real farm fun! The Legare family is there working hard and hosting an authentic experience- we loved it oh yeah so did the kids!!! read more

Huge disappointment. I am not a frequent reviewer but i felt i needed to let people know what they were getting into. Its more like a junkyard then a pumpkin patch. All the people were very nice and it would be so much more welcoming without the junk. See photos. read more

Very disappointing. We've visited Legare Farms for several years to see their pumpkin patch. We've noticed that they have started to go downhill, but was never more evident than today. We went to the Fall Festival where they are charging admissions just for the privilege of going to their pumpkin patch. One inside the pumpkin patch had been completely emptied out except for some sad kids and some smashed pumpkins. As the sole reason for making the trip was to visit the advertised "pick your own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch", it seems to me that this should have been relayed prior to having to pay the admissions fee(which is per person). Additionally, once you enter into their "festival" area, it is an obvious shoddy attempt to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible. Everything inside costs "extra" except for some hazardous tire swings and a game of tic-tac-toe. Very sad that the farm has become what it now is, as as several years ago it used to be a good, quality family fall experience. This is the last time we will waste a trip out there. read more

This is an actual family-run, working farm. If you want the full farm experience complete with interaction with the animals, hay ride, picking pumpkins, homemade jellies, jams, and salsas to buy, gem mining, corncob shoot, and more then I suggest you go to Legare Farms. We've made it a family tradition and always have fun participating in the activities and running into friends. A true, rural Johns Island farm experience! read more

I feel so bad to even write this review. Celebrated daughters birthday there recently. Was not impressed with farm, not welcoming, dirty, old metal burn your bum slide, broken picnic tables, piles and piles of lawn clippings. They swiped my credit card, and said "call me if you need something", and walked away. And looks like a junk yard with a bunch of crap laying all around. If you want to see some cows and pigs, it's the place to go. But I don't recommend it for a birthday party. read more

I paid $15 for the Halloween maze, haunted house and hay ride. It wasn't really scary, more amusing than anything. Going with a group of people made it more fun than what it was. I doubt I'll return. I like the set up of the place. Parking instructions should be clearly posted. Overall experience was average read more

Took the kids this weekend and had an amazing time. The kids really enjoyed the hayride they got to feed the cows. The lady that drove the tractor was so patient with them. They asked her so many questions and she tryed to answer them all. Will be going back very soon. read more

The Legares have been at it for generations, and it shows. They produce some of the most flavorful goods in the Lowcountry-- the grass-fed beef, pork, and chicken are all superlative. The farm is open for tours, so bring the fam and wander around. read more

Am a member of their CSA program (you join and for a flat fee get weekly fresh veggies from the farm) and could not be happier! Delicious veggies, great service, and a great chance to try new foods that we'd never think to buy. One week we got a watermelon that wasn't quite right and after I let them know, not only did they remember but they brought another one especially for me two weeks later when they were ripe! I am VERY impressed with their personal attention and the care that they show their customers. And not to mention that the veggies are great! They also bring meat, honey, and other farm items to purchase which are fresh and delicious. I highly recommend ths program. We will definitely do it again next year! read more

As much as I love to support local family owned businesses, I simply can't recommend this place... We purchased discount tickets online for the fall festival activities i.e. corn maze, pumpkin patch, hay ride, etc. When we arrived, we then had to pay even more money for parking despite there being ample parking available. Then there was no employee anywhere to direct us or to even collect our tickets. We walked around the entire area with no one asking to see tickets or help us in any way. There was no one working the hay ride line even though there were about 15 people in line. The animals in the "petting zoo" were in small cages labeled with the wrong animal names, for example, there were goats in the sheep pen and rabbits in the chicken cage. The pumpkin patch was pretty bare with high prices for the pumpkins they did have available and, after we finally found an employee to ask about the corn maze, we were informed that they didn't have it that year because the crops hadn't done so well. The farm itself has a junk yard right where you walk out to the animal pens and hay ride. There seemed to be no upkeep or pride in the festival. We left utterly disappointed. read more

I chaperoned a school field trip to the pumpkin patch recently and we LOVED it! We have been to the more touristy patches and love those too, but this is an actual working farm that pulls their livestock in during October so the kids can see the animals and in some cases, pet and feed them. The Legare family has been working and making their living on this land for seven generations - if that doesn't give you goosebumps I don't know what will. I am familiar with working farms and it's valuable to understand that what might look like junk can be an invaluable means to an end in the future. A working farm saves what they procure even if it doesn't have an immediate use. Personally, I find this a valuable talking point with my daughter - an opportunity to discuss saving and reusing existing resources vs the toss and rebuy mentality. Yes, it is imperative you know what you are getting when you go - but the hayride at the end to feed the cows and pigs is GOLDEN! Highly recommend :)! read more

This review is for the haunted hayride , the haunted house, and the trail. Wow !!! What a joke , they should stick to farming . The hayride was basically a hayride in the woods . The long ride in the woods made 3 stops . Each stop was just laughable. Looked like they went to the Halloween express to pickup a few Halloween items and put them out for display. The characters didn't even try . The chainsaw actors were dangerous, they would put the exhaust right in your face. I guess that makes it scary. I'm not going to dis the haunted shack , the little kids that were participating were having fun. Now for the haunted trail. I think there were three characters in the so called haunted trail and only one of them tried to scare something . He tried grunting a few times and turned back around in "shame" to try his act on the next group. The other two were too busy having a conversation about "Hey did you bring your bug spray?" The only scary part on the trail was the constant trip hazards and the low hanging branches hitting you in the face . We did get to see a pig roam around the farm that was neat. read more

I took my class on a field trip yesterday to Legare Farms. Not knowing what to truly expect with all the rain and wind we have had the past month. The small working farm atmosphere was everything I could have asked for. The children were given a safety briefing about the animals at their level of understanding where they were allowed to ask questions and have them answered. They were also taught about the life cycle of a pumpkin before we went to the patch. Pulling from their prior knowledge about the latest hurricane we recently experienced they were told if a plant or vine gets to much water and wind that it can damage them. They let the kids predict what would happen ( many said they would die) and then told them how the vines had rotted so the pumpkins were in the patch without vines. The kids could have cared less if the vines were intact as they looked for the perfect pumpkin. 24 hours later and the kids are still talking about the hayride to feed the cows and pigs, the playground with the joggling board that they could sit on with their friends, the area with the supplies that they could get parts from to fix broken tractors and fences instead of buying new stuff at the store ( a lesson in recycling from the mouths of babes) All that came to my mind was one mans trash is another mans treasure. Kudos for a job well done! If you are looking for a bells and whistles atmosphere look for another venue but if you are looking for a day outing that will create fun memories in a simplistic stress free environment this is the place for you. This will be an annual event for our school. read more

This was the worst farm fall activity experience I have ever had. The waxmyrtle maze was deceiving and deadly and myself and my friend sustained injuries. It was also false advertising and not a maze at all but simply a trek through the treacherous woods. read more
