In this episode of News Bytes, we visit Goderie’s Tree Farm in Johnstown, NY, to sit down with Pete Goderie, a third-generation farmer whose family has been growing Christmas trees for more than 50 years. Pete shares expert tips on choosing, caring for, and responsibly disposing of your Christmas tree, plus the work that goes into growing and maintaining his trees. He also discusses how the farm has diversified over the years — and how he cut his workers’ comp insurance costs in half by joining NYFB’s Safety Group 486.
