One of the more fully documented small farms in this batch, opening Thanksgiving Day itself with five tree species including precut Fraser fir, free hayrides, and hot chocolate, though it's cash-and-check only and no price figure was found.
Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.
Holly Berry Hills Christmas Tree Farm, run by Larry Haley in Saucier, is one of the more fully documented smaller farms in this research batch. Where many similarly sized Mississippi farms leave hours, species, and amenities largely unstated, this one has enough specific detail to plan an actual visit around.
The farm offers both cut-your-own and staff-assisted cutting across four cypress and pine varieties — Arizona cypress, Carolina Sapphire, Leyland cypress, and Virginia pine — and also brings in precut Fraser fir for buyers who specifically want a traditional fir rather than a warm-climate substitute. That combination is genuinely useful: if half your family wants the classic fir look and the other half is fine with a Leyland cypress, you don’t need two separate stops.
Rather than waiting for the weekend after Thanksgiving like many farms in this batch, Holly Berry Hills opens on Thanksgiving Day itself, from 1-5pm, and then runs daily (with a shorter Sunday window of 1-5pm) until the crop sells out. This is worth knowing if your family wants to beat the traditional post-Thanksgiving rush — showing up Thanksgiving afternoon or the day after gives you first access to the season’s full selection. The tradeoff of a farm that operates until sold out rather than to a fixed calendar date is real, though: cutting your own tree in mid-December carries a genuine risk that the best sizes are already gone, even if the farm itself is technically still open for staff-cut or precut purchases.
It’s worth being precise about what that Thanksgiving Day opening actually is: the farm’s own stated pattern, per the research, is “Thanksgiving day 1pm-5pm, then every day after until sold out.” Resolving that pattern to Thanksgiving Day 2026 (November 26) is a reasonable estimate based on a recurring seasonal habit, not a farm-confirmed date for this specific year, so a quick call to 228-539-9518 close to the holiday is worth the effort if your plans hinge on that exact date.
The farm offers winter hayrides out to the fields, free hot chocolate, restrooms, and a picnic area — a solid, if not extravagant, set of extras that make the visit more comfortable without turning it into a full-day entertainment destination. It also runs school tours and sells living/rooted trees plus wreaths and boughs, useful if you’re looking for something beyond a single cut tree.
Payment here is cash-and-check only, with no card option mentioned in any source — worth planning around, especially if you’re used to tapping a card at larger, more commercialized farms. On price, there’s genuinely nothing to calculate: no price_from or price_note exists in the record, so no dollar figure, however rough, belongs here. Bring enough cash to cover whatever the farm quotes when you arrive, since there’s no card backup if you come up short.
The honest bottom line: Holly Berry Hills is one of the better-documented smaller farms in this batch, with real species choice and a Thanksgiving Day opening worth showing up for early, but bring cash and don’t wait too long into December if cutting your own tree matters to you.
The farm's stated pattern is opening Thanksgiving Day 2026 (an estimate resolved from a recurring "Thanksgiving day 1pm-5pm, then every day after until sold out" pattern, not a farm-confirmed date) from 1-5pm, then daily 9am-5pm with Sunday running 1-5pm, until trees sell out. Going earlier in the season means better selection; going right on opening day means avoiding the chance the farm sells out before you get there.
With free hayrides to the fields, hot chocolate, restrooms, and a picnic area, this can be a relaxed half-day visit, though the core cutting process itself is likely quick once you're out in the field.
Not stated directly, but because the farm opens on Thanksgiving Day itself and runs daily until sold out, the very first days of the season (Thanksgiving through the following weekend) are likely the busiest, as families who want the best selection show up early rather than waiting.

Skip Holly Berry Hills if you don't carry cash or a checkbook, since the farm is confirmed cash-and-check only with no card payment mentioned, and skip a late-December visit if you're set on cutting your own tree, since the farm sells out and closes for the season rather than running to a fixed date.
Not available in the record checked.
The farm's own stated pattern is Thanksgiving Day, 1-5pm, then daily until sold out. For 2026, Thanksgiving falls on November 26, but this is a resolved estimate based on a recurring pattern, not a farm-confirmed date, and the farm's crop could sell out and close earlier than in past years.
