Thomley's Christmas Tree Farm & Gift Shop has been a part of the Oak Grove community for nearly 100 years.
In 1931 Veroy & Clara Thomley bought the original 60 acres for $1,500. People say Veroy “could put a stick in the ground and it would grow”. In 1967 Howard and Mamie Thomley began growing Christmas trees. They raised Randy(my Father) & Cindy Thomley here on the Farm. My Dad ran the farm for 13 years after Grandaddy died, growing the Tree Farm to over 10,000 trees! Daniel Bell & Jeremy Thomley started the Glassblowing Studio in 2016. In 2020 Jeremy & Lindsay Thomley bought the Farm. Tourism increased after being featured on HGTV’s Hometown and we renovated the Farmhouse to be an AirBnb in 2021. In 2024 the Gift Shop became “The Roost”, our second AirBnB in the off season. In 2024 the Mohawk Molten Niner Race began, we had runners from 16 states and it keeps growing. The MM9R Race is in Feb, there is a 4&9 Mile option. We made 725 glass Race medals for the 2025 race. It has been an incredible partnership with Rhonda at Kinda Gritty. The Farm evolved again when Jeremy’s Wife Lindsay began the Thomley’s Farmers Markets from April-Aug & Fall & Holiday Vendor Markets in 2024. You can find the latest Market info on Thomley’s Facebook Page.

We grow 3 types of trees at our farm. The Leyland Cypress is our most popular, and the Virginia Pine & Carolina Sapphire. In addition to the trees we grow we also bring in Fraser Firs from North Carolina/Virginia.
We can also Flock your tree which is adding a White snow like substance, if your looking for that winter wonderland look. Fresh Wreaths and Garland are also another big item at our farm. Customers should place their orders early to insure delivery of fresh hand made wreaths and garland.
The Gift Shop has also been an attraction for many years with a great selection of Vendors and Gifts. With each year we have invited more and more Made in Mississippi vendors. We currently have 30 Goats, mostly Nubians with big floppy ears. We also have Willow & Bordeaux our not so mini pigs & Pearl & Red our Turkeys.
The farm is home to the states only GlassBlowing Hot Shop. Customers work with Glassblowers to create beautiful Ornaments, Bowls, Pumpkins, Vases etc. The Glass Studio opened in 2016 and has been voted the “Best Date Night” in Mississippi. Hours of operation are by appointment. Our business is seasonal, open Oct, Nov, Dec, Feb, March & April. Book your appointment here.
We have various displays throughout the farm providing photo opportunities for Christmas cards and memories.
You can come early and tag a tree to be picked up at a later date. Season opens November 15 for those wanting the best selection. We begin cutting trees the weekend before Thanksgiving. Keeping in mind cutting them early requires a bit more attention to watering.
We want to thank everyone who over the years have been loyal customers. The Christmas tree season is a very special time of year for our family. We would like to make it a special time of year for yours too!
