One of the most detailed and widest-selection farms in this entire batch — six named cut-your-own species plus precut Fraser fir — opening Thanksgiving Day, though cash-and-check only and no price figure is published.
Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.
Pine Mountain Christmas Tree Farm, run by contact Mike Marolt off Highway 72 west of Corinth, is one of the most thoroughly documented and widest-selection farms in this entire research batch. Where many Mississippi farms in this file grow one or two cypress varieties, Pine Mountain offers six named species for cut-your-own or staff-assisted cutting — Carolina Sapphire, Eastern red cedar, Eastern white pine, Leyland cypress, and Arizona cypress — plus precut Fraser fir trucked in from 5 to 12 feet for buyers who want a true fir, and living or container trees for replanting.
That six-variety spread, plus the Fraser fir option, means this is one of the few farms in this batch where a family with mixed preferences — someone who wants a classic fir, someone else who prefers a cypress — doesn’t need to choose between two different farms. It’s worth the slightly longer browsing time this implies: comparing six species takes longer than picking from one or two.
The farm’s own stated pattern is starting “Thanksgiving Day from 9am until dark,” which resolves to November 26, 2026 under that pattern — an estimate based on a recurring habit, not a fresh 2026 confirmation from the farm, so a call to 662-286-8157 near the holiday is worth it if your plans depend on the exact date. After opening day, the farm runs daily 9am until dark, with a shortened Sunday window of 1-5pm, and other times available by appointment.
One specific research quirk worth flagging: the source that documented this farm lists it under an Alcorn County heading, even though the town of Walnut is actually in Tippah County, and driving directions are oriented around Corinth landmarks rather than the mailing address’s town. That mismatch isn’t resolved here — it’s flagged as-is — but it means you should trust turn-by-turn directions from the farm or a mapping app over assumptions based on the county name if that matters to your route planning.
The record mentions chickens and horses on the grounds along with a “modern outhouse,” which points toward a rustic, working-farm atmosphere rather than a manicured commercial attraction. Free hot chocolate and candy canes for kids are offered, along with music playing somewhere on the property, restrooms, and wreaths and boughs for sale — a solid, unpretentious set of extras rather than a full entertainment-farm buildout.
Payment is cash and check only here, with no card option mentioned — worth planning for ahead of time. As with most of this batch, there’s no price_from or price_note on file, so no dollar figure of any kind can responsibly appear here; bring enough cash to cover whatever the farm quotes on arrival.
The honest bottom line: Pine Mountain offers arguably the widest, most detailed species selection in this entire batch, including a genuine Fraser fir option, but come with cash, double-check your route given the county mismatch in the source directions, and don’t expect a firm price until you’re standing in front of the tree.
The farm's own stated pattern is opening Thanksgiving Day 2026 (an estimated November 26 based on a recurring "starting Thanksgiving Day from 9am until dark" pattern, not a farm-confirmed date), then daily 9am until dark, with Sunday shortened to 1-5pm. Weekday mornings should be quieter than a Thanksgiving-weekend visit.
With six tree varieties to choose among plus farm animals, music, and free hot chocolate, this reads as a leisurely browsing visit rather than a five-minute grab-and-go, especially if you're comparing multiple species before cutting.
Not stated directly, but the detail and popularity implied by six named varieties, music, and multiple amenities suggest this is a well-known, likely busier stop than the many thin-record farms in this batch, especially over Thanksgiving weekend itself.
Not described in the record.
Not addressed in any source checked.
Skip Pine Mountain if you don't have cash or a checkbook, since it's confirmed cash-and-check only, and skip a mid-to-late-December cut-your-own visit if you want the widest selection, since a farm with this much documented popularity is a reasonable one to visit earlier in the season for the best pick.
Not available in the record checked.
