Bastiao Farms

Crazy good corn maze!!! Little buildings and a small corn maze for kids. Great place to take kids.

Eh! Brought the kiddo here because he has been begging to go to the pumpkin patch.
$ 7 entry for all, including kids older than 2 years.
Hay pyramid was cool – but it would be wise to wear sneakers. My kid and I were in sandals/​flip flops. Probably not the smartest thing!
A lit of great photo opps for the photographers. Cute lil props spread out.
Train and haunted ride costs extra.
Corn maze is HUGE. About 10 minutes into it, the kiddos were tired… so we snuck out the side. LOL!
Pumpkins were $ 1 and up.
The corn cannon looked fun, but also cost extra.
In my opinion, entry should’ve been free.

Well, I came here last year and my kids had fun. All the attractions were open and there was much more to offer. One activity that they did not have last year was the jumper. I seen from passing by prior to today that they had one avail this year for the kids. So I decided to take my kids on my only day off; Today– Thursday… And to my surprise was very disappointed because they didn’t have the jumper up (the main reason I wanted to bring my kids back), some of the attractions were shut down/​closed, no staff on the actual territory after paying to ask questions or inquire about anything, no fabulous face painting like the prior year, there were also no food/​drinks/​shaved ice to purchase neither outside of prepackaged snacks in the small barn after paying. I was looking forward to snacking on something since I am currently 8 months pregnant. I’m debating if I even want to come back to this one next year. I paid $ 21 for myself and my two children… But feel like it wasn’t worth it. We barely stayed an hour and got through all the attractions. I was expecting to spend at least 2 hours of my evening here with my kids this year because that’s about the same amount of time we stayed last year, and how long it took to get through all the attractions.
In addition, I feel like if certain things are not going to be avail for display/​use/​etc then they shouldn’t charge the full price of $ 7.00/person. I would have felt more comfortable just paying $ 5.00/person today. Mind you, it was very windy today out on this farm. So there was little bits of hay blowing everywhere during our whole visit and made the experience a bit more annoying!!! If you don’t have any glasses handy to help keep the hay out of your eyes I would NOT suggest going on a windy day. Wait, until the weather is better.
Idk, maybe because I chose a «week day» over a «weekend» is why we got the shorter end of the stick for activities and attractions… I just wish I would have known before I got all the way down here today. I hate wasting my gas and time!!!

Came here on 24 October, 2015 at 1300.
It’s a great little pumpkin patch that has more than you would expect. The reason I came here was because I came here the previous year and the experience was well worth it.
They have tons of pumpkins ranging from size to color; food if you get hungry and Hawaiian shaved ice if you get hot. The shaved ice is the best I’ve ever had to be honest, I got «your worst nightmare» and it was root beer flavored with ice cream underneath, which was a nice little treat.
Bring your military ID if you have one because it’s free admission, (vs. regular admission — $ 7) the people that are with you get to go in for a $ 1 off too!
Also bring comfortable running shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty because they have dirt pathways.
Only reason why I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 was because of the bees that they had, there were so many, but only in certain places. Mind your own business and they won’t harm you.

Nice place but it’s going to cost you! I had a party of 10 4 adults and 6 kids that’s $ 70 for entrance fee and had to pay for everything else. What happen to the $ 2 – 3 entrance?! AND if your allergic to bees, be aware cus they are everywhere!

Very surprised with this place. was a little skeptical BC it didn’t have to many stars an it also had $$$. But upon arrival that all changed… The 3 of us was only $ 21. That included all the attraction… Corn maze, hay maze. hay ride.etc. The staff was friendly an my daughter had fun… Will be returning next year…

I’m very surprised that Bastiao Farms doesn’t have a higher rating on Unilocal.After visiting another local pumpkin patch, this place blew it out of the water. We came here with a 2 year old who didn’t want to leave! We checked out lots of pumpkins, went on a hay ride, took a bunch of cute pics and played on the kids cars while winding through the kid’s hay maze. There was a ton of other stuff that we could have checked out but didn’t have time for. Yes, it’s $ 7 to enter. In my opinion, it was worth it. If you think all of this should just be free because it’s October, you cray.

Since when do you have to pay to enter a pumpkin patch? $ 7 a head plus have to pay for other activities. $ 5 to go on a slide… Parking lot is tiny and no easy way out once you get in.

Pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay pyramid, haunted house, party slide, train ride, shaved ice, new corn canon super fun! Simply must go. As a family favorite every year! oh I almost forgot you absolutely have to have the fresh grilled corn buttery and salty and their hotdogs!

The more they build up this place the worse the customer service gets. It’s clear they’re only interested in nickel-​and-​diming their customers. Not to mention most of their pumpkins in early October were damaged and/​or had mold on them. Then they had the audacity to charge us $ 30 for three medium sized pumpkins and a couple small ones. We went down the street and got four same sized pumpkins from Bel-​air for $ 16.
Save your money and go to the grocery store.

I LOVE Bastiao Farms’ Goblin Gardens. This is the third year in a row we’ve taken my son. I can see us visiting Goblin Gardens for years to come. It is definitely a part of our fall family traditions. Not only does my son have a great time, my husband and I do as well! The Bastiao family does an amazing job and you can tell how much they love sharing their family farm with the community. It really is their livelihood. The love and care that they take to ensure everyone has a great time is demonstrated through their attention to detail at every corner. Corn mazes, haunted train rides, hay rides, a haunted mine, a giant slide, a corn pyramid and a corn cannon or just some of the fun things that keep my son occupied! We always spend a couple of hours and then at the end of our visit, we grabbed one of the old wagons and head out into the patch to find our pumpkins! I find the prices extremely fair and I absolutely love supporting a family farm in our region. For a true fall harvest experience in California, head to Bastiao Farms!

We love it here. We live near by so we get a season pass and go many, many times each year. They are always adding new stuff, and the owners are very involved and visible. This year, the corn maze is no joke! Only made it to the exit once in three days so far!

$ 7 per person just to enter the premises. Extra money is charged for most other activities, then you pay the expected inflated pumpkin price tags. No thank you. Adults should be free or the cost of admission should be credited to the final price tag of the pumpkins. If money is an absolute non-​issue for you, your kids will probably have fun, so that’s why I give 2 stars instead of 1.

Just finished our first visit with this place. I was skeptical due to the past Unilocal reviews but decided to anyways, and I’m glad I did! Staff was SUPER friendly. Its great for kids, my two year old loved it. They even check the pumpkins for you to make sure you got good ones and not rotting ones/​soft ones. Price wise, they were very considerate on price while charging you for pumpkins. Got them cheaper than we thought they were. Very festive décor too. Definitely satisfied.

If there was a 0 I would have picked it. Fees will kill you here. It’s small & they charge for everything, including going down the inflatable slide. I paid $ 21 bucks and saw/​did everything in 15min. Do yourself a favor & make the drive to Bishops. I took one for the Unilocal team today…

Not really for couples/​childless adults. You can go pick your own pumpkin from the patch, but it’s pretty obvious that this place is geared towards an afternoon out with the family. The staff looked a little surprised that we didn’t want to pay $ 7 each for the «extra» stuff (maze, hay ride, etc)
Small pumpkins are $ 5, medium are $ 7, and large are $ 10. You slide pumpkins in a size slot to determine their price. They will give you the benefit of the doubt and knock a couple bucks off if your pumpkin is on the smaller side of the size.
In terms of price, I’m not sure this is the best way to price pumpkins… for the consumer’s sake. If you choose a wide pumpkin as opposed to a tall skinny one, you will automatically have a $ 10 pumpkin. Obviously the Farm makes out with this arrangement. The consumer? Not so much.
They do not accept credit cards. An ATM is on grounds but there’s a $ 2.50 surcharge.
Their shop has drinks and snacks. I almost bought a Gatorade for $ 1.50 because I was sweating after a rigorous pumpkin search, then I realized that they were mini-​sized bottles like the ones that come in a 6-​pack from the supermarket.
Eh, it is what it is. Their bottom line is clearly to make money off of you, but whose isn’t?

Very very expensive. 7 bucks for adults and 7 for 3 year old and higher. Cost extra for slide, train ride, haunted barn, face painting

This pumpkin patch was fun. I went with my girlfriend and her mom so we are all grown but we still had a fun time. It was good for us because we were looking for a pumpkin patch that was close and was not going to be that time consuming. And that it was… we spend maybe 2 hours there but we had fun.
It’s $ 7 to get in but they do have free parking so that’s a plus. With your $ 7 fee you get to: walk through a small corn maze, a hay bale maze, a small hay bale maze that you can see over the top (or not if your a child), a spooky tunnel (and it’s not scary to adults but might be for small children), a hay ride, a very tall hay pyramid, a one room school house that you look inside, and a little mini old town that you can play in.
I think this place would be great for small children or people like me who are kids at heart. Haha. They had a lot of pumpkins in all sizes. The medium one were $ 5 and I think the large were $ 10 so not too bad. I got a mini pumpkin that I think is super cute for $ 2.
It was fun but not as fun as another pumpkin patch I went to this year– Bishops pumpkin patch. However that one is really expensive and far away so this one was just what I was looking for.

In short? Rude staff, over priced pumpkins.
The pumpkin sorting system that determines cost is a bit shady. We checked our pumpkins ahead of time, which the lady in charge clearly didn’t like. Pumpkins are sorted by diameter, so we purposely tried to find tall pumpkins. More bang for your buck, right? Just trying to be smart shoppers. When my friend put a pumpkin into the $ 7 slot, and it fit PERFECTLY, the rude lady said «nice try… $ 10.» and rolled her eyes. When I protested, she just repeated «ten dollars» over and over. My friend caved, but I seriously considered asking for my money back on the pumpkins I’d already purchased. Wish I had! Especially after we rolled over to belair and saw sizable pumpkins for $ 3! Pumpkins that would have cost $ 10 at this patch! Bad experience all around. Rude staff and overpriced goods, won’t ever go back.

There is a $ 6 entrance fee and parking is free. They are open from 10 a.m. — 7 p.m. everyday.
Great place for kids to check out! They have:
A corn maze
Hay Pyramid to climb
Hayrides/​Train rides
See Saws and mini tractors
An Old West Village to explore
The pumpkins are expensive but pretty — better off getting bigger pumpkins at a grocery store. I had a coupon for a free mini pumpkin from the Natomas Shopping Ad! Score! The pumpkin patch was clean and had lots of space for kids to run through.
There are plenty of photo ops here :)
I would probably come back here again.
