Rich in tradition and history, Legare Farms is a bustling, three hundred acre farm on the banks of the Stono River just 14 miles outside of Charleston. Our farm raises Black Angus and Hereford cattle without the use of antibiotics or hormones and also raises pigs of fine heritage breeds such as Yorkshire, Hampshire, Berkshire and Tamworth. The eggs produced on our farm are free-range and of top quality.
Legare Farms cultivates fresh, wholesome vegetables that are free of chemicals and pesticides and offers memberships in a successful CSA food co-op program. We also grow Zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Centipede sod as well as a variety of nursery plants.
We welcome your interest in our family’s farm. Here at Legare Farms we strive to grow fresh, all-natural foods that are free of additives or chemicals because we believe in healthy food and healthy land. Agriculture played an important role in the low-country’s history and it continues to play an important role in the region’s economy. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about life on the farm!

What do you feed your cattle? Where can I buy meat from your farm?
Our cattle are fed grass, hay, and brewer’s grain collected from 3 local breweries. The meat is antibiotic and hormone free. We have the meat including beef, chicken, and pork available at the farm. The Coop at Sullivan’s on Sullivan’s Island carries our meat but they will be closed the month of Jan.
Hi, Helen!
I was the winner of the door prize of jelly, pickles, and salsa at the grants meeting and chose to send the gift to my sister and her husband in Chicago for Christmas. They loved it! The next time they’re in Charleston, we’ll try to come to your farm for a visit. Thank you so much. Wishing you all the best in 2012.

I read the article regarding a law suite against LF by your neighbor. I just want to tell you that I send heartfelt condolences to you. I am praying that those involved in this suite will have a revelation of peace and joy in Christ Jesus and know that there are ways to work together without the courts. I pray peace and joy for your family in 2012 and a sure knowledge of His presence.
Hello!
My daughter is doing a science project on the number of seeds in different varieties of apples. Do you grow apples on your farm? If so, part of her experiment is to ask an expert on what variables affect the seed production in apples. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Lisa Windorf
Hey, I was wondering where you get your CSA produce from? I was on your farm a few weeks ago and only saw cattle. Are you reselling other local produce? Thanks!!
Jerry Riceman or John Middleton or whatever your real name is. Who would know since your e-mail address is bogus.
Have we done something to offend you that has caused you to send nasty comments to our websites??
Our farm is only open certain times of the year to the public so I’m not sure how you could have seen anything including the cattle. We would be glad to show you the farm and everything we grow if you call or e-mail us for an appointment.
We do a 15 week CSA program the delivers vegetables 9 weeks in the spring/summer and 6 weeks in the fall. We start deliveries around the 1st of May so we are only starting to plant now. We are planting onions and potatoes now. We will be putting in collards and brocolli soon. If you only went onto the part of the farm where the cattle are then you would not have seen the vegetable field since cows eat vegetables.
Whoa..hey, not sure who John Middleton is..just HONESTLY curious about where you get your vegetables from. I have a small plot in Ravenel, and I was visiting farms in the area with CSA’s to see how much they were producing. I Guess I must have missed your patch? Makes sense that the cows eat the veg.
Hello,
My fiance just attended a class on eating healthy and she was shocked or scared to learn about all the chemicals used in not only growing produce but meats as well. The instructor suggested joining a co-op to assure that your produce and meats are chemical and hormone free. I am having a hard time putting my mind around what a co-op is. She mentioned co-ops have a membership fee and you order your meats and produce through them. Is this the type of service you offer?? We live in West Ashley and often do our shopping at the Farmers Market during the summer months. Can you please give me some information on any services like this you may provide. I am all about supporting our local farmers and would love to buy local if we can. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Sincerely,
Ron Bradley
Jerry Rice, If you will e-mail us at the farm with a real e-mail address we will be glad to talk to you about our vegetable program and show you the farm. I tried to answer this offline but it was a bogus e-mail address which made me somewhat suspicious as to the content of the e-mail. With everything that has been going on (the lawsuit) we are a bit leery when we get comments such as this insinuating we don’t grow our own vegetables. Sorry if I came across too strong. The farm’s e-mail address is legarefarms@bellsouth.net
