Swank Farms, The Experience - Hollister, California

We hosted our NYE party at Swank Farms and had an amazing experience. Everything was spectacular, from the delicious tacos and fresh produce to the dance floor vibes and the beautiful venue, everything was perfect.

It’s fine to do once. The food experience is so bad you need to plan on not eating there. The $14 tri tip sandwich was super small but tasted good. It took two separate twenty minute lines to get and another 10 minutes to pickup a taco order. The 7th and 8th graders we took had a fun time in the scary maze after dark. It was fun to watch characters with running chainsaws chase people! The slide hill was a good time as well and it was nice that we didn’t have to pay a separate fee to do this. $35 a head is pretty steep so you can plan on spending $50 per person if you get anything to eat.

I was a vendor during the 1st weekend of October. I knew weather would impact attendance, but I still thought prices were reasonable. The staff took care of me and made me feel like family. My toddler daughters and husband were able to enjoy the daytime experience every day I was at the event, which was a great deal and that alone made the vendor fee worth it.

They enjoyed the trampoline, the tractor ride and the beautiful corn maze views combined with October sunsets.

They have delicious fudge you can purchase, artisan beers, fair prices on tacos, tri-tip sandwiches, nachos, and other items.
The restrooms inside the barn are clean, and updated.

The beauty is that if you go early in October there are no lines. Parking is abundant and free too as opposed to other local options.

This is a great place to go on a date because they have a haunted maze that you can opt to purchase.

I had such a great time just chilling on the property that I decided to return for another weekend in October.

I also got to enjoy live music on Sunday. They had a live banjo and listening to it was also a 1st for me!

I had an absolutely amazing time at Swank Farms this year! The Corn Maze was such a fun challenge—it's huge, creative, and the perfect blend of tricky and entertaining. They’ve really put a lot of effort into making it a unique experience, and we got lost (in the best way) for hours! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the whole atmosphere was super welcoming.

But the real highlight was the "Lights & Frights" event. The combination of beautifully lit paths and spooky decorations created such a fun, eerie vibe. It was the perfect mix of family-friendly Halloween fun and a little bit of fright. My friends and I couldn't stop talking about how amazing the light displays were—they definitely went all out!

There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re looking for a little adventure in the maze or want to immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit. Highly recommend it for a memorable fall outing!

Amazing Experience at Swank Farms Pumpkin Patch!

We brought a group of 425 people to Swank Farms for a field trip, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! The staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly for our large group. From check-in to activities, they were organized, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time.

We've received countless compliments from our families about how much they enjoyed the day. The activities were engaging for all ages, and the farm's festive atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Swank Farms truly knows how to host large events, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend for any group or family outing!

I recently visited Swank Farms and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly staff and an atmosphere full of excitement and charm. The farm has something for everyone—whether you're looking for family-friendly fun or just want to enjoy a day outdoors.

The corn maze was a highlight for us. It’s well-designed, challenging, and tons of fun! We spent a good amount of time navigating through it, and the kids absolutely loved it. The pumpkin patch was also a treat. The selection of pumpkins was vast, and they had sizes perfect for both carving and decorating.

We also enjoyed the various farm activities, including the pedal karts and jumping pillows. The kids were thrilled! The food options were delicious as well—simple, fresh, and perfect for any day of the week.

If you're looking for a place that’s perfect for families, groups, or even a fun date, I highly recommend Swank Farms. The mix of seasonal activities, beautiful scenery, and friendly vibe make it a must-visit. Can’t wait to return for their fall festivities!

I was a photographer who was hired to photograph a wedding at Swank Farms Venue. I have been a photographer for 8 years and have never seen an event move so smooth. The property is gorgeous and has a cozy quint country feel. Very clean and organized. The staff were ON IT! When I arrived the tables and decor wheee completely set up. This is VERY RARE from my experience. I was able to swoop in getting all the detail shots covered before I even connected with our couple. Very kind that stayed in communication with me in order to keep things moving in time. Excellent food- Not that typical dry chicken you would get at a wedding.
I can’t recommend this venue enough!
Weddings or any type of celebration!
