For those interested in this topic, there is this lecture tonight:
Laurie Ten Eyck, co-owner of Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont and author of "The Hop Grower’s Handbook,’’ will discuss the evolution of her family’s farm — from a dairy farm to an apple orchard to an agrotourism enterprise that includes the Indian Ladder Farmstead Cidery and Brewery — at the Woman’s Club of Albany at 6:30 p.m. today (1/22).
