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.

" . . . In the Fall of 1967, Mr. Paladino sold the farm to Joe and Ellen Abbruzzese. The Abbruzzese family became the first owners to live and work on the farm. In 1969, they built the first Farm Market on the property.

"Over the years, Joe and Ellen added a larger Farm Stand (1970), cold storage and packing house (1971) and additional controlled atmosphere storages. In 1978, they purchased the adjacent farm of John Armstrong, which allowed the addition of strawberries, grapes and vegetables to be produced.
