Borders? What borders? Swank Farms may be out of county lines, but what’s an invisible line in the metaphorical sand to vegetable lovers of Monterey County? Though they’re renowned for their pumpkin patch, Swank Farms is beloved by locals for their variety of just-picked seasonal produce and products (the finest example being the varieties of their heirloom tomato salsas). Even an empty campaign promise to renegotiate a county-level trade deal (NAFTA, anyone?) couldn’t drive locals away from their beloved farm stand.
