Cut your own tree and explore a gift shop at Clark's Christmas Tree Farm

2025-12-17

Bill Clark started selling Christmas trees as a teenager.

That part-time job would spin off into a multi-generational family business known as Clark's Christmas Tree Farm.

Guests can cut their own Christmas trees, or ask an employee for help, before exploring a massive holiday gift shop.

Clark's children and grandchildren have helped the business grow since its opening in 2005.

Part of their expansion was the creation of the holiday gift shop in 2014.

Inside, families can explore four rooms full of wall-to-wall trinkets and tchotchkes ranging from nutcrackers to ornaments to snow globes and wreaths.

The farm plans to remain open until at least the Sunday before Christmas. After the holiday, they begin preparations for the following year.

Their address is 351 Pusey Mill Rd, Cochranville, PA 19330. Visitors should note that their GPS may lead them to a driveway that is a stone's throw away from the actual entrance. Look for the red gate with the sign reading, 'Clark's Cut Your Own Christmas Shop Tree Farm.'

To learn more, visit their website.

A familiar name in the frozen pizza aisle is disappearing for good. Conagra Brands has stopped making Celeste frozen pizzas, ending production of the longtime grocery staple also known as Mama Celeste. The company will sell its remaining inventory, but once those pizzas are gone, there will be no more products.

That Yellow on Your Broccoli Isn’t Just a Color Change and Here’s Why It's Important

Broccoli is one of those vegetables I used to grab without giving it much thought. If the bunch looked mostly green and the stalks seemed fine, into the cart it went. But there’s one little detail worth checking before you buy it, and it only takes a few seconds to spot.

This Herb Was Used for Back Pain Before Muscle Relaxers Existed

Devil's claw is a spiky-fruited plant from southern Africa, and its root has long been a traditional remedy for pain. It's also one of the few herbs tested in real trials for low back pain, which makes it worth knowing about if you deal with flare-ups. 😊

Four Ingredients Turn Cornmeal Into Crispy Southern Comfort

Southern hoecakes demonstrate how a few humble ingredients can create something far more memorable than their simplicity suggests. Cornmeal, liquid, egg, and hot fat come together into small cakes with crisp, golden edges and tender centers. The flavor is straightforward and deeply comforting, especially when bacon grease adds its smoky character to the pan. They resemble pancakes in shape but carry the rustic texture and savory corn flavor of skillet cornbread. Each cake develops plenty of browned surface, making those edges the part everyone searches for first. This is old-fashioned cooking built around necessity, thrift, and ingredients that were easy to keep on hand. The result remains valuable today because warm, crisp corn cakes still know how to make a bowl of beans or a plate of vegetables feel like a complete meal.

The Pork Chops I Make When Everyone’s Tired of Pork Chops

Pork chops have a reputation problem. Cook them the same old way and they can feel like the dinner you make because they were on sale—not because anyone was excited about them. Brown sugar changes that equation fast. As the chops cook, that sweetness mingles with the savory seasoning and pan juices, creating a glossy coating with caramelized edges that makes an ordinary package of pork look considerably more interesting. You get juicy meat, sweet-and-salty flavor, and those sticky browned bits around the edges that somehow disappear before the rest of the plate does.

The old-fashioned cream cheese pound cake everyone asks about

Butter alone can't give a pound cake this velvety crumb. Cream cheese is the difference, and it keeps every slice from falling apart. Butter and cream cheese are beaten together until fluffy, which gives the cake a dense, moist crumb without any baking soda or baking powder. It is rich but not overly sweet, so it needs no glaze. I like a slice plain with a cup of tea.

I've been making this Wendy's-style chili since I was a newlywed in 1982. It's ground beef, kidney and pinto beans, stewed tomatoes, and a little cumin, simmered for an hour until it tastes like the drive-thru version. One pot makes 16 cups, and it costs a lot less than take-out.

The Cookie I’d Still Pick Over Anything From a Fancy Bakery

Peanut butter cookies never needed frosting, fillings, or a dozen trendy ingredients to earn a place on the cookie plate. Give me the old-fashioned kind with those familiar fork marks across the top, crisp golden edges, and a soft center that still has a little chew when you break one open. The peanut butter does all the work, filling the kitchen with that warm, nutty smell before the pan even leaves the oven. They’re simple in exactly the right way—the kind of cookie that brings back school lunches, after-school snacks, and the old cookie jar that somehow never stayed full for long.
