Altamont Orchards, a U-Pick farm offering pick-your-own apples, berries, pumpkins, and tomatoes is located at 6654 Dunnsville Road, Guilderland, NY 12009, Albany County in the upper-Hudson Valley. From Altamont Orchards: "The land on which the present day Altamont Orchards is located is rich in history. The original deed for the farm, which sits at the base of the Helderbergs, is dated February 2, 1792; for the lease of the farm to William Ward from Stephen Van Rensselaer. Since the late 18th century, the farm has been leased and sold a number of times.
"The first orchard was planted by Dr. Daniel Cook, an Albany physician in the early 1900's who was interested in the new science of growing apples. His son, Daniel Jr., along with a resident manager continued to run the farm as a business from his Albany home until his death in 1952.
