McAlpine is a straightforward, open-daily choose-and-cut farm running the full Thanksgiving-to-Christmas-Eve window with consistent hours, though no tree pricing is published anywhere in the record.
McAlpine is one of the more straightforward operations in this research batch: rather than a limited weekend-only schedule, it’s described as open every day of the season, Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve, with the same 8am-5:30pm hours throughout. That resolves to November 26 through December 24, 2026 – a full four-week run with no gaps or shortened days to plan around.
The farm grows Leyland Cypress and Virginia Pine, the two most common commercially grown Christmas tree species in Arkansas. That’s not the widest selection in this research batch – some farms list four or more species – but both are reliable, widely available choices, and being common species means the farm likely has a deep enough supply that running out isn’t as much of a concern as it might be at a farm growing something more specialized.
Choose-and-cut and cut-your-own are both confirmed, and saws are provided at no charge – a genuine convenience if you don’t own one or don’t want to bring it. Staff will also shake and bale the tree, cutting down on the mess you’d otherwise carry home in the car. Wreaths and garland round out what’s for sale beyond the trees themselves.
Neither price_from nor price_note contains a dollar figure anywhere in this record. There’s no honest number to offer for what a tree here actually costs – not a flat rate, not a per-foot estimate. If a specific budget matters, calling 501-865-3731 ahead of time is the way to get a real answer; otherwise, plan to ask on arrival.
An Airbnb listed as Margie’s Coop turned up associated with what appears to be the same or an adjacent tree farm property in the Ozark area during this research, but it isn’t confirmed to be operated by the same family running McAlpine. Don’t book a stay assuming it’s connected without confirming that link directly.
Being open daily removes some of the scheduling pressure other farms create by only opening a few hours a few days a week. That said, general season mechanics still apply: the Saturday after Thanksgiving is typically the single busiest day at any cut-your-own farm, so a weekday visit, especially later in the week, is a reasonable way to trade a bit of urgency for a calmer trip.
Wreaths and garland are available alongside the trees, per the record, though as with the trees themselves, no pricing is published for either. If you’re stopping specifically for holiday greenery rather than a full tree, it’s worth asking about both options while you’re there rather than assuming only trees are on offer.
McAlpine’s daily hours and straightforward choose-and-cut setup make it an easy farm to plan around, even with a narrower two-species selection and no published tree price to budget against ahead of time.
The farm's description of being open Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, seven days a week, resolves to November 26 through December 24, 2026. Being open daily with the same 8am-5:30pm hours throughout removes a lot of the scheduling guesswork other farms in this batch require -- a weekday visit should be a safer bet for avoiding crowds than a Saturday, especially the first weekend after Thanksgiving.
Not stated directly. Two tree species and a straightforward choose-and-cut setup suggest a more efficient visit than farms layering in zoos or hayrides, though the record doesn't describe field size or typical visit length.
Not stated in the record, but being open daily with consistent hours through the full Thanksgiving-to-Christmas-Eve window likely spreads visitors out more evenly than a farm limited to weekends only.

Skip McAlpine if you need a posted tree price before visiting, since no per-tree or per-foot figure is published anywhere in the record, and skip it if you want a wider tree species selection, since only two are confirmed here.
