Tee Mamou is a multi-season working farm with a genuinely appealing lineup — five tree species including Nordmann Fir, bonfires and s'mores, a petting zoo — but there's no phone number or website in the record at all, and the only detailed source dates to 2022.
Tee Mamou is described as a multi-season working farm behind DI’s restaurant off Highway 97 near Basile — sunflowers in May, a pumpkin patch in October, and Christmas trees in winter — with a tree lineup and activity list that reads as genuinely appealing if the record were more current.
The listed varieties are Carolina Sapphire, Leyland Cypress, Murray Cypress, Nordmann Fir, and Virginia Pine, available cut-your-own or staff-cut. Nordmann Fir stands out here — it doesn’t appear in most other farm records in this batch, which lean toward cypress, cedar, and pine, or occasionally Fraser Fir. If a fir specifically (rather than a cypress) is what you’re after, this would be one of the more distinctive options in the area, assuming the farm is confirmed active.
Winter hayrides, bonfires with s’mores, a petting zoo, and school tours round out the Christmas season offering. Combined with the sunflower and pumpkin seasons at other times of year, this reads as a working farm built around multiple seasonal draws rather than a single-purpose tree lot.
This is the most important thing to know about this listing. No phone number and no website were found anywhere in the record for Tee Mamou’s Christmas tree operation. That’s different from farms elsewhere in this batch where you at least have a number to call and confirm current details — here, there’s no direct line at all in what was found. Making it harder still, web searches for the farm’s name are dominated by an unrelated, well-known cultural tradition — the “Tee Mamou-Iota Mardi Gras” — centered in the same part of Acadia Parish, which crowds out search results and made it impossible to confirm 2024 or 2025 season activity despite deliberate searching.
The only detailed source describing hours (Tuesday-Sunday, 8am-4pm, closed Monday) dates to March 2022. Three-plus years without a fresher confirmation is a meaningful gap, especially with no phone or website to check against.
Tee Mamou’s tree lineup and activity list are genuinely appealing on paper, but this is the hardest farm in this batch to verify before visiting — no phone, no website, and a name that search engines confuse with an unrelated tradition. If you can verify it’s active another way, such as checking during its spring or fall seasons, do that before planning a special winter trip around it.
The only detailed listing found describes hours of Tuesday through Sunday, 8am-4pm (closed Monday), but that listing dates to March 2022 with no fresher confirmation found. No season start or end date was identified. Given the currency gap, there's no way to responsibly recommend specific timing beyond noting these are the hours on record.
Not stated directly, but with bonfires, s'mores, and a petting zoo listed alongside the tree selection, a confirmed-current visit could easily fill a couple of hours.

Skip Tee Mamou unless you can independently verify it's currently open and selling Christmas trees, since no phone number, website, or 2024/2025-specific confirmation could be found for this farm, and search results for its name are dominated by an unrelated, well-known regional Mardi Gras tradition of the same name in the same part of Acadia Parish.
Not available in the record checked.
Uncertain. The only detailed source found dates to March 2022, and no phone number, website, or 2024/2025 confirmation could be identified — searches are also complicated by an unrelated Mardi Gras tradition of the same name in the same area. Verify independently before planning a special trip.
