    Outdoor space
    Elaine F.

    I held my daughter's Quinciañera at Swank Farms Venue! July 2025. Here are the pros & cons of this venue: Pros: - Beautiful Indoor/Outdoor Venue with plenty of parking - I was able to bring my own caterer - I had access to space from 8am to 11:30pm Cons: - Venue Manager/Owner was looking over mine & my guests shoulder all the time (this was stressful) - I paid for 2 bartenders (neither of which appeared to have bartending experience - I selected only beer for my guests (made 4 different beer selections one month in advance). The beers I selected were not provided to my guests. No one ever mentioned my guests would be offered a full bar. I had drink tickets for my guests; when they went to the bar they were under the impression the tickets were good for any drink, bartenders had to tell my guests they were only good for beer, the lines backed up, there was confusion. Did I mention guests were charged $15 for margaritas that were made with the cheapest tequila (Jose Cuervo.) - Two weeks before event my music sound tech wanted to confirm the venue had sufficient electricity/power capacity. I asked the manager/owner & she was unable to confirm for me. I had my sound tech call her directly since I'm not a sound engineer & I wanted to make sure they had the electrical power needed for the day of the event. The venue manager/owner was rude to him & hung up on him. The day of the event sure enough; we are about to dance the most important song (mother/daughter dance) and power goes out! Frustrating! - The venue has security cameras in every single angle of the barn, except the bathrooms & upstairs middle dressing room. Oh but the manager/owner made sure to personally do a check-in of yes the women's bathroom & the upstairs areas. So unnecessary & intruding on privacy. - I paid one security guard which venue hired. Guy appeared to have been picked up off the street (no uniform or badge) - Once event was over at 11:30pm, I had to make sure venue was clean, owner/manager kept on calling me because I was going over the 30 minutes allotted otherwise she would have to pay her staff over time. - I found dead mice inside the venue a few days before our event. If I'm following my obligations contractually why are you micromanaging the event. This was so stressful & dont think I would ever use this venue again.

    Swanks Farms was at the Fort Mason Farmers Market San Francisco. They have gone from Orchards, to Cows, to Farming and currently are the stewards of 47 Organic Acres. Today the were offering Cauliflowers, Beets, Tomatoes, Squashes plus a great many other edibles from their fields.

    This is our go-to place for a Fall Maze. We've been going here for years and have never been disappointed. Last year we enjoyed the Sunflower picking and the Night Lights. This year we only participated in the Maze, which was a lot of fun. If you have children, there are so many additional things to do. Huge slides, Jumping Pillow, Hamster Wheel (Large Tires on a Track), Goat Feeding and Cow Train plus a few other activities. Here's What I Think... If you're in the Bay Area next Fall, please go check it out.

    This place S U C K E D. There was trash on the ground everywhere. Empty beer cans and bottles every two steps kind of litter. In the corn maze I saw not one, not two, but THREE(3!!) grown men walk just steps into the corn and urinate. There were kids everywhere and these adults thought this was appropriate and no one was around to stop them. Kids were ripping up full corn stalks and throwing corn around the maze. It was $64 for two people, and they do a really great job advertising and making it look like there's a lot to do here. But... there's not. It's crowed, even on a Sunday night, with overtired children and drunk adults. They have MULTIPLE signs saying "NO REFUNDS" and "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK" and now I know why. Save your money, it's not worth it.

    No shade or garbage cans but great live music.

    Went Saturday 10/4/25- it was opening day of the season; they opened at 10 and they had the Hoptoberfest event 1-4. I feel like they should've just opened at 1, because nothing before that was ready. No one was doing the cow train, garbage cans weren't out, there was no food, things were still being set up all over. I kept having to tell my kids we'd come back later. Half of the food options weren't available, and what was available wasn't very good. (The worst cheeseburger of my life, no joke. Half the size of the bun, a thin hard crunchy cold disc, cold cheese, and we were one of the first few orders of the day.) Even most of the pumpkins were half green and so many parts of the corn maze needed to be cleared of plants and random fully grown corn stalks. I'm totally sympathetic to learning curves and training when there are a bunch of young kids running things but while everyone was super nice they just didn't seem to know what they needed to do or what was going on. Honestly, next year just open later the first day if you need that time to get things together and ready. Beer was great and live music was great, some shade would've been nice!

    Delicious homemade pumpkin fudge

    My husband and I have visited Swank Farms before Halloween for the past two years. Although Swank Farms is a bit of a trek, we're happy to make the journey. We love picking out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, wandering through the corn maze, strolling through the garden, and taking photos throughout the property. They even have an adorable red barn that is great for taking pictures and serves as a small store and dining hall. We never leave Swank Farms without picking up delicious homemade pumpkin fudge and caramel sea-salt popcorn. We love supporting local family-owned, operated small businesses such as Swank Farms.

    3.5/5 My family and I made the trip out here to check out the Swank Farms Fall Experience. We arrived and parked in the gravel unmarked parking lot. The ladies at the front checked us in gave us our wrist brands and a word search puzzle for the maze sharing the history of Swank Farms. We walked in and the space was huge. It didn't really have the pumpkin patch vibe as everything was spaced far away from each other. It felt more like outdoor activities that you do when you visit a barn. There was 1 jumper, a slide (you get into a potato bag and slide down a hill of sand), and an area to slingshot tennis balls and blast targets. Also a LARGE jumping pillow which looked really cool. They had a bus that kids could explore. There is also an area where they have pigs, goats, and chickens (in separate enclosures). Adults can feed 2 stalks of corn per adult to the goats which was neat. They have 2 areas to pick out pumpkins ($.60 cents a pound). There was a large corn maze. In the middle of all this was a barn that was selling fudge and other Swank Farms merchandise. Off to the side there was an area to buy snacks and drinks. We ordered a lemonade and grilled cheese, and both were good. The lemonade was fresh and not too tart or too sweet. The grilled cheese was made on delicious sourdough bread. The guy making our food was not wearing a mask but was wearing gloves. They also had two oversized wooden chairs to take pictures in. I looked around for a hayride or a ride for the kids and found one by the maze area, but it looks like it was only for kids. I was disappointed there were no rides for adults to go with their kids. The pumpkin selection had a small variety of different pumpkins. No one was wearing a mask since the activities are outdoors. It was 74 degrees, but it felt like 85 on the day we visited. There's very few shady areas so make sure to bring sunscreen, water, and a hat. Many of the walk areas are just dirt so I ended up walking out with a glob of mud on my shoes. The staff at the front were efficient but I didn't see any other staff inside the patch other than one other lady. It wasn't very busy because we went on a weekday in the morning. Plenty of portable restrooms that are well maintained. There's areas to wash your hands with soap and water. This pumpkin patch is better suited for older kids. The overall space can benefit from a more festive fall appeal and activities parents can do with their younger kids.

    Field of light (more like a short path of trees covered in lights)
    Diana N.

    I really like how big the farm is. With so many people and how spacious it is, it doesn't feel that crowded. The farm is very kid friendly, and everything was placed pretty far apart. Do want to note, barely anyone was wearing their masks. I get that it's outdoors, but with how crowded it is, you would want to stay safe. I don't think the employees were wearing their masks either ‍ Let's start with the good. My son thoroughly enjoyed jumping on the giant "pillow", going down the dirt and inflatable slide, feeding the goats and pigs. The rest was mehh. The corn maze was okay, you can see through and they numbered it so you didn't really get lost in it or tried to find your way out. I imagine the sunflower field must have been beautiful when it was in season and bloomed. But when I went, the sunflower field was dead and barely any flowers left. The pumpkin patch was all the way at end so it's easy to miss and pick out a pumpkin. I paid extra for the field of lights. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't that. The field of fright was not scary at all, they let a bunch people in all at once for the line to go through quickly and wouldn't be so long. The kid friendly field of fright was literally all the way at the end on an unmarked field. To be honest, the kid friendly one was a bit more creepy with how dark it is, how far away it is from everything, and how much dolls they used. I would skip the field of lights, and just had my little one enjoy the rest of the farm

    The goats had no problem with the hot weather and were quite curious and funny

The food trucks are a nice add-on this year too, but even last year when they didn't have those, we still loved this pumpkin patch! Those huge pumpkins are the best! SO MANY BIG Pumpkins! Those were our favorite to see. I hope this pumpkin patch will stay the way it is and not become a giant amusement park like attraction where you have to pay an expensive fee to get in to buy an expensive pumpkin. After Halloween, the movie nights at the pumpkin patch are pretty special too. Thank you San Benito Roots for being here! WE LOVE YOUR PUMPKIN PATCH!!!

In the men's restroom, there are multiple stalls and urinals available now, which is a huge improvement compared to what they used to have with that small, tiny restroom by the parking area. The service was good overall. There are a lot of younger employees working there, and while most of them were very enthusiastic, the some just seemed like they were just there, but I have no real complaints about the experience. I would definitely recommend coming to visit and relax here during your road trip since there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.

I know this is all for a good cause and it really isn't too big of a deal, but it is silly that I literally bought the tickets within a minute and then walked back after the carnival being closed and then denied to even use the tickets on anything else and then told to come back next week. They were told not to sell any tickets since they were closing up the carnival early, but I guess it wasn't communicated well. I guess we will be back to use up the tickets next weekend...?
