Our take

A Christmas Tree Farm with a Seasonal Pumpkin Patch

A&W Christmas Tree Farm operates on a hybrid model: they grow and sell Christmas trees year-round, and seasonally open a pumpkin patch in fall. This structure is common on the Gulf Coast, where warm weather limits pumpkin-growing to quick-turnaround seasons. For you, it means this farm is primarily a pumpkin destination in October, not a full multi-attraction festival.

The farm offers both shop pumpkins and a u-pick field, giving you flexibility: buy a pre-selected pumpkin quickly, or spend time walking the field and hand-picking your own. U-pick is usually cheaper per pound but requires more time and physical effort.

U-Pick Logistics on the Gulf Coast

The Gulf Coast in October is warm—expect highs in the 70s to low 80s, with humidity. Early morning visits (opening bell through 11 a.m.) are far more comfortable than midday. Bring water, sunscreen, and bug spray; marsh areas near the coast often have mosquitoes, especially in late afternoon.

U-pick means you’ll be in a field handling pumpkins. Wear work gloves, sturdy shoes, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Most fields are unpaved or lightly graveled, so extra shoes or washable shoes are a good call if you’re particular.

The farm’s website mentions both a shop and field access, but which areas are open, how they’re organized, and whether you can u-pick every day is not published. Call before visiting.

What You Won’t Find

This is not a full-service farm festival. There’s no corn maze, hayride, or petting zoo listed. This is a streamlined pumpkin-and-Christmas-trees operation. If your family wants a multi-activity day, this may feel too minimal; if you want to pick pumpkins and move on, it’s efficient.

Before You Go

Call or email clarkwanda1957@gmail.com to confirm:

  • 2026 opening and closing dates for the pumpkin patch
  • Daily hours and whether hours vary (some farms close early mid-week)
  • Whether both shop and u-pick are available on your chosen day
  • Pricing: is there a gate fee, per-pumpkin charge, or per-pound rate?
  • Whether groups can call ahead for any special arrangements
  • Parking and restroom availability

The farm’s website is linked from directories but doesn’t have detailed seasonal hours, so a direct call is your best path to current information.

Location Note

Pascagoula is in Jackson County, the easternmost part of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, close to the Louisiana border and about 90 minutes from Jackson. It’s a small, quiet town. Fall here stays warm and humid—early morning is truly your best bet for comfort.

Can I pick my own pumpkins in the field?

Yes, the farm lists both shop pumpkins and a u-pick field. Call clarkwanda1957@gmail.com to confirm which areas are open during your planned visit.
