A fourth-generation orchard, Indian Ladder Farm is one of only two remaining fruit farms left of the 60 that populated Albany County just a century ago.
The farm, a regional landmark located in the foreground of John Boyd Thacher State Park, is a popular destination for tours, apple picking and apple cider donuts, and has trails for hiking and cross-country skiing.
In 2003, we worked with Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy and other partners to acquire a conservation easement protecting the 320-acre farm, which encompasses sections of two environmentally significant wetlands—the Vly Creek Marsh and the Black Creek Marsh.
