Old Milo pairs a fall pumpkin patch with a Christmas tree season that opens the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov 27, 2026) and includes a free petting zoo and free tree netting, but with no published pricing anywhere in the record, budget flexibly rather than expecting a posted rate.
Old Milo runs a fall pumpkin patch and a Christmas tree season on the same Ashley County property, which makes it a two-season stop rather than a Christmas-only operation. That dual identity shows up in the tree lineup, too: not everything here is grown on-site.
The farm’s own site describes its tree season opening the Friday after Thanksgiving at 10am – a relative description that resolves cleanly to November 27, 2026, since Thanksgiving falls on November 26 that year. What isn’t confirmed is a closing date. A mid-December close date turned up attached to what the site labeled the 2025-2026 season, but since that reads as last year’s calendar, it isn’t carried forward here as a locked 2026 end date. Hours once open run Monday-Friday 2-5pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, and Sunday 1-5pm.
Most of Old Milo’s own field-grown trees – Leyland Cypress, Carolina Sapphire, and Blue Ice – are cut-your-own or choose-and-cut. The Fraser Fir is different: it’s sold pre-cut, which almost certainly means it’s trucked in from out of state, since Fraser Fir doesn’t grow well in Arkansas’s climate generally. If you specifically want a tree grown on this land, that points you toward the cypress varieties rather than the fir.
Old Milo offers a tractor-drawn hayride, a free petting zoo, and free tree shaking and netting after you cut – genuinely more than many small Arkansas farms bundle in at no extra charge. There’s also a paid pony ride available as a kids’ add-on, fresh wreaths and garland for sale, and hot chocolate. The wreath and garland supply is described as limited, so if that’s part of your plan, earlier in the season is the safer bet.
Neither price_from nor price_note contains a dollar figure anywhere in this record – no per-tree rate, no per-foot rate, nothing to build even a rough estimate from. That’s a real gap if you’re trying to budget precisely before leaving home; the honest answer is to call 870-853-2379 ahead of time or plan to ask when you arrive, rather than expecting a posted number.
A November 27 opening lands the farm’s start right in the season’s single busiest week nationally – the days immediately following Thanksgiving. If you’re hoping for a quieter visit, waiting a week or two past opening, rather than showing up on day one, is a reasonable general strategy, though the record doesn’t confirm Old Milo’s own crowd patterns specifically.
Because the same land also runs a fall pumpkin patch, Old Milo effectively operates on two separate agritourism calendars rather than shutting down between Halloween and Thanksgiving. If you visited for pumpkins earlier in the fall, the same driveway and parking area are presumably reused for the tree season, though the record doesn’t describe the layout in enough detail to say whether the two seasons share the same checkout area or run as fully separate setups.
Old Milo offers a genuinely fuller experience than most small Arkansas tree farms – a hayride, a petting zoo, and a pony ride alongside the trees – with a confirmed opening date to plan around. The tradeoffs are an unconfirmed closing date, no tree pricing anywhere in the record, and a Fraser Fir that isn’t actually grown on the property.
The farm's site states the season opens the Friday after Thanksgiving at 10am, which resolves to November 27, 2026. No closing date is confirmed for 2026 -- a mid-December close date was attached to what the site labeled the 2025-2026 season, so it isn't carried forward as this year's end date. Hours run Mon-Fri 2-5pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, and Sunday 1-5pm, so a Saturday morning near opening likely offers the best combination of tree selection and daylight.
Not stated directly, but a tractor-drawn hayride, a free petting zoo, and pony rides mean this can run longer than a quick cut-and-go, especially with kids along.
Not stated in the record. A confirmed Nov 27 opening (the Friday after Thanksgiving) puts the farm's start squarely in the season's highest-traffic week nationally, so an early visit likely means an early-season crowd, not a quiet one.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in any source checked.
Skip Old Milo if you need a posted tree price before visiting, since neither price_from nor price_note contains a dollar figure anywhere in the record, and skip it if you're set on a self-grown Fraser Fir, since the farm's own is field-grown only in Leyland Cypress, Carolina Sapphire, and Blue Ice, with the Fraser Fir sold pre-cut, likely trucked in from out of state.
