Retired Director's Christmas Tree Farm: Climate Challenges

Bob Schrader, a seventy-two-year-old retiree, runs a Christmas tree farm in Hatfield, Massachusetts, with his son Jake. After purchasing the overgrown property in 2010, theyve transformed it into a thriving business, growing and selling trees for seven to nine years. The farms busy season is around Thanksgiving, offering customers a family experience with tree selection, hot chocolate, and horse-drawn rides. The main challenge is adapting to climate change, as Jake hopes to work full-time on the farm, and Bob dreams of its continued success.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
