Plenty of farms around here, particularly on Johns Island, but I'm not
aware of any that take in guests. Many have a "U Pick It" season which my kids
enjoy. Other attractions in the area, namely Middleton Place and Charlestowne
Landing, have small working farm areas to add to the realism of settler and
plantation life.
There are numerous Bed & Breakfast places in Charleston, most in old
downtown mansions. Almost all have been renovated to some degree and virtually
all have central heat/AC, otherwise no one would stay in them during the
summer. And at the prices most charge you expect to be pampered.

I don't think you're going to find any farms or ranches in Charleston
but I'm sure you'll find plenty of "bed and breakfast" inns. A "bed and
breakfast" inn is usually a large house converted to a hotel by the
owners. Since it's really just a large house there may only be 3 or 4
guest rooms. The room rate typically includes breakfast served family
style and at a particular time in the morning.
Since bed and breakfast inns are usually in old houses they may or may
not be air conditioned. That's something to be mindful of during August
in Charleston.
