A small, family-run choose-and-cut cypress farm that reportedly sat out at least one recent season, so confirming it's actually open in 2026 matters more here than at almost any other farm on this list.
Barkley Farms, LLC is one of the thinner records in this batch, and that thinness is itself the most useful thing to say about it. No hours, no pricing, no activities, and no payment method could be found in any source checked. What is on record is a description of the farm as a small, family-operated “mom and pop” choose-and-cut operation growing Murray cypress, Leyland cypress, and Carolina Sapphire up to 20 feet tall — species that suit Mississippi’s climate better than a traditional Fraser fir, which isn’t listed here at all.
Most thin records in this batch are thin simply because a small farm doesn’t maintain much of a web presence. This one has a more specific reason for caution: a general web search turned up a note that the farm sat out the 2024 season due to the owner’s health, with an intention to return in 2025. Its continued presence on Mississippi’s official 2026 state Christmas-tree-farm directory suggests it’s back in operation, but that inference hasn’t been independently confirmed with the farm itself. That’s a meaningfully different situation than a farm that’s simply quiet online — this one has a documented reason its open status could be uncertain, and it’s worth treating that as a real planning risk rather than routine caution.
The record marks both cut-your-own and choose-and-cut as available, which typically means you can either walk the field and cut a tree yourself or have it selected and cut with assistance. Whether a saw is provided isn’t stated, so if you’re planning to bring your own tools just in case, that’s a reasonable hedge given how little else is documented.
There’s no price_from or price_note on file, which means no dollar figure — not even a rough one — can be responsibly written here. If cost matters to your planning, that’s a question for the phone call you should already be making to confirm the farm is open this year.
Barkley Farms is a real, small, family-run cypress farm worth considering if you’re in the Tylertown area and want to support a smaller operation, but between the near-total absence of published hours, pricing, and amenities, and the documented history of at least one skipped season, calling 601-810-4269 before you drive out isn’t optional here — it’s the only way to know whether there’s a farm to visit at all this year.

Skip Barkley Farms if you need confirmed hours, pricing, or open status before you go, since none of that is published anywhere, and skip it if you're not willing to call first, since the farm reportedly skipped at least one recent season and its 2026 status has not been independently confirmed.
Not available in the record checked.

We track 8 farms in Southwest MS, 6 of which let you cut your own tree. The farm has not published a starting price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
