Website: 

went to Legare farms last weekend with my family. coupons and free parking are very misleading. also theres no corn maze! No one lets you know that on the website, on the phone, or while bying tickets. After buying tickets you follow the signs to the “corn maze”, when you are at the entrance you find out thier corn had a worm problem and you have bought tickets to a small makeshift hedge maze! I believe they found a patch of wild hedge and vegitation, about a half acre, and drove a bushhog through it. I e-maild them about this and got no response at all. You may want to remove this embarassing, disapointing attraction off your site.
Thanks for the update Cindy. I will take it off my site. This is great feedback. I am sorry that they misled us.
