Our take

Tiger Branch is a compact, weekend-only cut-your-own operation on the west side of Covington, and the record here is clear on the two facts that matter most for planning a visit: the schedule and the payment method.

A three-day week, not a five-day one

The farm opens 2026-11-27 and runs Friday through Sunday only, 9am to 5pm, with no weekday hours at all. That’s a tighter window than farms open daily through the season, so if your only free time is a Tuesday afternoon, this isn’t the stop — you’ll need to work a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday into your plans.

Four varieties, self-cut or staff-cut

The tree lineup covers Leyland Cypress, Murray Cypress, Carolina Sapphire, and Blue Ice — four distinct cypress-family options, though no fir varieties are listed. Saws are provided if you want to cut your own, and staff cutting is also available, giving you the choice without needing your own equipment.

Cash or check only — no exceptions noted

This is confirmed directly in the record: it’s cash and check only, with no card option mentioned anywhere. If you’re used to tapping a card at checkout, this is the kind of detail that can derail a visit if you show up without enough cash. Bring more than you think you’ll need, since there’s also no pricing information to help you budget precisely (see below).

An address worth double-checking

Two independent, relatively recent sources — a Yelp listing updated May 2026 and a Northshore Parent roundup — both give 18075 Tiger Branch Rd as the address, and that’s what’s used here. An older aggregator listing instead gives a different street number and a different phone number entirely. Given that two more-current, independent sources agree with each other, the older entry reads as a likely stale or mistyped listing, but if your GPS pulls up an older cached address, don’t assume it’s right — confirm against the number here or call 985-893-5520 directly.

No pricing found anywhere

As with several other farms in this batch, no dollar figure — per foot, flat rate, or otherwise — was found for Tiger Branch in any source checked. That means there’s no honest number to give you here; the only responsible move is to call ahead and ask, and to bring more cash than you’d bring to a farm with published pricing.

The honest bottom line

Tiger Branch works well if a Friday-through-Sunday visit fits your schedule and you’re prepared to pay cash without knowing the exact price going in — just don’t trust an old address or assume a card will work.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Season starts 2026-11-27 (the Friday after Thanksgiving, per the farm's own description). The farm is only open Friday through Sunday, 9am-5pm — there's no weekday option at all, so plan around a Friday-Sunday visit.

How long to budget

Not stated directly, but with four tree varieties and only tree netting/baling listed as an activity, this reads as a focused cut-and-go visit rather than an outing with extras.

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 or a checkbook — cash-only is confirmed here, with no cards accepted
  • A GPS address double-check: two independent recent sources (Yelp, updated May 2026, and a Northshore Parent roundup) agree on 18075 Tiger Branch Rd, but an older aggregator listing gives a different street number and phone, which may be a stale or typo'd entry
  • Your own saw if preferred, though the farm provides them

How to spend less here

  • No price figure of any kind was found in any source for this farm, so there's no dollar arithmetic to offer here — budget flexibly and ask on arrival
  • Since cash and check are the only accepted payment methods, factor that into how much cash you bring rather than planning to run a card if you go over budget on-site

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors who can visit Friday through Sunday and want a straightforward Leyland Cypress, Murray Cypress, Carolina Sapphire, or Blue Ice cut-your-own trip
  • Anyone comfortable paying cash or check only
  • People who want the option to self-cut or have staff cut, with saws provided either way

Skip it if

Skip Tiger Branch if you can only visit Monday through Thursday, since it's closed those days, and skip it if you're relying on a card to pay, since the record confirms cash or check only with no cards accepted.

Worth pairing with
