Indian Ladder Farms

Indian Ladder Farms
 
Nestled in the shadow of the Helderberg Escarpment, Indian Ladder Farms is a family-owned, century farm in upstate NY. The farm is home to over 300 acres of apple orchards, berry patches, pumpkin fields and animal pasture. We pride ourselves on providing a space for our community to establish a connection between the food on their plates and the land. In 2000, Indian Ladder Farms recognized the potential impact of the increased loss of farmland locally. The Ten Eyck Family along with The Open Space Institute and the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy retired the development rights to the majority of the land owned by Indian Ladder Farms. The land must remain available for agricultural purposes, it can not be developed.  In May 2003, Indian Ladder Farms was the first farm in Albany County to receive the state’s grant to retire the development rights.
