Our take

Kennedy’s is a small, limited-hours choose-and-cut and cut-your-own farm in the Franklinton area of Washington Parish, and the record gives a clear season window even though several other details — pricing chief among them — remain open questions.

A defined season, but only three days a week

The farm runs 2026-11-27 through 2026-12-25, which is a genuinely useful confirmed window compared with several other farms in this batch where season end dates are left null. Within that window, though, it’s open only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with hours that shift by day: Friday and Sunday run a shorter noon-5pm, while Saturday stretches to 9am-5pm. If your schedule only allows a weekday visit, this isn’t the farm.

Two cypress varieties, cut how you like

Leyland Cypress and Arizona Cypress are the two tree types listed. You can self-cut or have staff do it, and saws are provided either way, so there’s no need to bring your own equipment. A hayride is also listed as an activity, giving the visit a bit more shape than a bare tree-lot stop.

No dedicated website, and pricing is a real gap

Unlike several other farms in this batch, Kennedy’s doesn’t appear to have its own website — the record is built from a Yelp listing and a roundup article instead. That’s not disqualifying, but it does mean there’s less to cross-check against, and it lines up with the bigger gap here: no pricing information turned up in any source checked. The base listing describes cash and check as accepted payment methods, but whether cards work wasn’t separately confirmed, so bring cash as the safer plan.

No numbers to calculate

Because no pricing figure exists for this farm, there’s genuinely no dollar figure to offer here, and none should be assumed. If exact cost matters to your planning, a call to 985-264-6502 before you drive out is the only way to get a real answer — there’s no way to reason your way to an honest estimate from what’s on record.

Weekend timing worth thinking through

A defined season that runs 2026-11-27 through 2026-12-25 but is only open three days a week compresses the total number of available shopping days more than a farm open daily across the same stretch would. That’s a general pattern worth keeping in mind rather than a documented fact about this specific farm: the first weekend after Thanksgiving tends to be the busiest single stretch of a short season like this one, and a cut-your-own lot with a smaller footprint can thin out on the best sizes faster than a larger operation would. Nothing in the record says Kennedy’s runs out of trees before Christmas, but with only about four weekends total in the season window and no daily restocking implied, waiting until mid-December carries more risk here than it would at a farm with a longer, fuller calendar.

The honest bottom line

Kennedy’s offers a real hayride and a confirmed season window, which is more than several farms in this file can claim, but the complete absence of pricing and the lack of a farm website mean you’re driving out on trust for the cost side of the visit — call ahead if that matters to you.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Season runs 2026-11-27 through 2026-12-25, open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. Saturday has the longest hours (9am-5pm) versus Friday and Sunday's shorter noon-5pm windows, so a Saturday visit gives the most flexibility if timing matters.

How long to budget

Not stated directly, but with a hayride included alongside the tree selection, this supports more than a bare cut-and-go visit, though the record doesn't describe a large activity list beyond that.

Crowds

Not stated in the record.

Parking

Not described in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in any source checked.

What to bring

  • Cash and a check as the safe default — the base listing describes cash and check being accepted, but card policy wasn't separately confirmed
  • A phone call to 985-264-6502 to ask about current pricing, since no dollar figures were found in any source for this farm
  • Awareness that there's no dedicated website — the record only has a Yelp listing and a roundup article to go on

How to spend less here

  • No pricing information was found in any source, so there's no dollar arithmetic to offer here — ask when you call or arrive rather than budgeting around a guessed number
  • The hayride is listed as an activity without a separate fee noted, so it may be included with a visit rather than an upsell, though the record doesn't say so explicitly

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors near Franklinton who want a straightforward Leyland or Arizona Cypress cut-your-own trip
  • Families who want a hayride included as part of the visit
  • Anyone comfortable working around a Friday-Saturday-Sunday-only schedule

Skip it if

Skip Kennedy's if you need a weekday visit, since it's only open Friday through Sunday, and skip it if you need confirmed pricing before you go, since none was found in any source checked.
