About the Role
Settles Hill Banquets and Events was originally founded in 1991 by Jock Farnsworth, who had purchased 465 magnificent acres and built The Tree Farm Restaurant in Altamont, NY. After Mr. Farnsworth’s passing and subsequent closing in 2005, Carver Laraway purchased the property and renovated the restaurant into a banquet facility. In 2008, the DePasquale family, former owner of The Backgrounds Restaurant in Schenectady, NY, took over the facility and created Settles Hill Banquets & Events.
