A cut-your-own farm near the Louisiana border that stands out for providing carts to haul your tree out of the field, plus staff cutting help on request, though pricing and payment method weren't confirmed.
Timberhill Christmas Tree Farm sits in Chatawa, a small community near the Louisiana state line along Old Highway 51. That location makes it, per the research notes, likely one of the closest Mississippi choose-and-cut farms to the New Orleans-area market — a genuinely useful detail if you’re coming from southeast Louisiana rather than from within Mississippi itself.
What sets this farm apart in this batch is a specific pair of details: the farm provides carts to haul your cut tree out of the field, and staff cutting assistance is available on request for anyone who needs help with the actual cutting. That combination is a meaningful convenience for families with young kids, older visitors, or simply anyone without much experience wielding a saw in a field. Most cut-your-own farms in this batch mention a saw being provided; fewer mention carts or on-request cutting help, which makes this a notably lower-friction cut-your-own experience than the norm.
The farm’s own stated opening pattern is “from Thanksgiving afternoon at 2pm,” which resolves to an estimated November 26, 2026 following the site’s date convention — a reasonable estimate from a recurring habit, not a farm-confirmed date for this year specifically. After that, the schedule follows a slightly unusual pattern: the following Friday at 9am, then regular hours of Monday-Friday 2pm to dark, Saturday 9am to dark, and Sunday 1pm to dark. The weekday afternoon-only start is worth noting if you were hoping to swing by on a weekday morning — that’s not an option here based on the hours in the record.
The farm grows Leyland cypress, Carolina Sapphire, and Virginia pine — all warm-climate species rather than a traditional fir, consistent with much of this batch. Beyond the trees themselves, the farm also sells specialty tree stands described as making setup “quick and easy,” a specific add-on worth asking about if you don’t already own a stand.
Pricing and payment method are both unconfirmed by any source checked. That means no dollar figure of any kind, however rough, belongs in this write-up — the honest answer is to call 601-542-5708 and ask directly, and to ask about accepted payment methods in the same call so you’re not caught without cash if the farm turns out to be cash-only.
The honest bottom line: Timberhill offers a genuinely lower-friction cut-your-own experience thanks to the carts and optional cutting help, and its border-area location is convenient for Louisiana families, but confirm pricing and payment by phone before you make the drive.
The farm's stated opening is Thanksgiving afternoon at 2pm (an estimated November 26, 2026 based on that recurring pattern, not a farm-confirmed date), then the following Friday at 9am, then Monday-Friday 2pm-dark, Saturday 9am-dark, and Sunday 1pm-dark. A weekday afternoon should be quieter than a Saturday during peak season.
Not stated directly, but with carts provided and cutting assistance available on request, this can be a relatively efficient visit even for families without much cutting experience or extra hands to help carry a tree.

Skip Timberhill if you need confirmed pricing or payment method before you go, since neither was found in any source, and skip a very early-week weekday visit before 2pm, since the farm's weekday hours don't open until the afternoon.
