A recognized Missouri Century Farm with real family history behind it — the Flinns have worked this land over 100 years, adding Christmas trees in the early 1980s — but current hours, pricing, and tree species weren't found anywhere in this research.
Catawissa Hollow Farm carries a Missouri Century Farm designation, meaning the Flinn family has worked this Jefferson County land for more than a hundred years — first as cattle ground, with Christmas trees added in the early 1980s and pumpkins added sometime after that. That’s a genuinely meaningful piece of context, and it’s the strongest, most specific thing this research turned up about the farm.
The source behind that history — a local news feature on families marking a century of farming — was written to tell the farm’s story, not to serve as an operational guide for visitors. It mentioned that as of the 1990s, the farm was moving roughly 600 choose-and-cut trees a year, a specific and interesting number, but one that’s now decades old and can’t be assumed to reflect current volume, current tree species, or current pricing. Nothing more recent turned up to update that picture.
If you’re weighing this farm because of its history, that part checks out — it’s a real, recognized, long-running family operation, not a marketing invention. But if you need to know what it costs, what species are on offer this year, or what the hours are, this record genuinely can’t tell you, and it would be dishonest to fill that in with a guess dressed up as fact.
Call the farm directly, or check its Facebook page, before making this part of your plans. Given how thin the current operational picture is compared with the historical detail, a quick call is the difference between showing up informed and showing up hoping for the best.
Like several other Missouri farms in this research, Catawissa Hollow runs a fall pumpkin patch on the same property in addition to its Christmas tree season — a common pattern for family farms trying to get more use out of the same land across the year, and a detail that fits the century-farm story of a working operation that has adapted over time rather than staying static.
The record lists the farm as choose-and-cut rather than cut-your-own, which generally means staff cuts the tree once you’ve picked it in the field rather than handing you a saw. That’s a reasonable expectation based on the classification alone, not a farm-specific confirmation, so ask when you call whether that’s still how the farm operates today.
This is a farm worth knowing about for its roots alone, but the current-season specifics you’d need to actually plan a visit simply aren’t documented anywhere this research could find. Treat the history as trustworthy and the operational details as unknowns to confirm by phone.

Skip Catawissa Hollow Farm unless you've called ahead or checked its Facebook page to confirm current hours, pricing, and what tree species are grown today, since the strongest source found described the farm's history rather than its present-day operations.
