Veeder’s Tree Farm in Earlton, Greene County is opening for the season on Friday.

It takes eight to 12 years to grow these trees, according to the family that runs it, and keeping the trees alive takes a lot of work.

The recent weather pattern hasn’t helped. There has not been much rain recently. That’s what is needed to keep these Christmas trees from drying out.

The family has to get creative to make sure the trees stay alive.
