“The Ruther family is anxious to show the public what life on a working dairy farm is all about. And at Windy Hill Farm in Duanesburg, the tour begins with the view.
“First of all, what we have here is a beautiful site,” said Bill Ruther, who overtook operation of the family farm from his father in 1962 and retired himself in 1995, leaving his son, Steve, in charge. “You look straight across to the north and you can see the Adirondacks. We’ll show people how the farm operates and all that, but the scenery here is really special.”
Windy Hill Farm is one of the 10 private and public spaces that will open its doors Saturday to help celebrate Schenectady County’s 2008 Farm and Foliage Day. Situated on Harden Road off Duanesburg Churches Road, the Ruther farm has been in the family since Bill’s father moved upstate from New York City in 1942.”
