A&W Christmas Tree Farm

Our take

A&W Christmas Tree Farm, run by Austin and Wanda Clark in Moss Point, pairs its winter Christmas tree operation with a fall pumpkin patch on the same property. For the tree season specifically, the record shows a farm that grows Leyland cypress, Virginia pine, and Arizona cypress — all warm-climate substitutes for the traditional Fraser fir, which isn’t listed here at all. If you’re specifically hunting a true fir, this isn’t the farm; if a cypress or pine works for your family, the choice is straightforward.

A narrow but workable schedule

The farm’s walk-in hours are limited to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10am to 4pm. Monday through Thursday, visits require calling ahead for an appointment rather than showing up. That’s a real planning constraint worth building into your weekend, since there’s no indication anywhere in the record that a spontaneous Tuesday-afternoon visit is an option.

Daylight only

One specific field note stands out: the farm has “no lights in the field,” which the record reasonably reads as meaning visits should happen during daylight hours rather than in the evening. Given the farm’s own hours already close at 4pm, this isn’t likely to surprise anyone sticking to the published schedule, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you’re tempted to squeeze in a visit right at closing time as the sun starts going down in December.

Both cut-your-own and choose-and-cut, plus a living-tree option

The record marks both cut-your-own and choose-and-cut as available here, with a saw provided, so you can either do the cutting yourself or presumably have help if you’d rather not. Beyond the cut trees, the farm also sells living, potted Leyland and Arizona cypress specifically for replanting after the holidays — a genuinely useful option if you want a tree that doesn’t end up on the curb in January, though the record doesn’t say how that pricing compares to a cut tree.

The cost gap is real, and that’s the honest answer

No price_from or price_note exists anywhere in the sources checked for this farm, which means there’s no responsible dollar figure to offer here — not a typical range, not a “starting at,” nothing. The honest move is to call 251-751-2596 before you drive out, especially if you’re working with a specific budget for the tree itself. Payment method wasn’t confirmed either, so it’s worth asking about that on the same call rather than assuming cards are accepted.

The honest bottom line

A&W gives you a real, family-run choose-and-cut option on the Gulf Coast with a sensible weekend window and a nice living-tree alternative, but with pricing and payment method both unconfirmed, a phone call before you go is doing real work here, not just a formality.
