This season
In the farm's own words: "The u-pick orchard is CLOSED for the 2026 cherry season." Picking is cherries in July only; the rest of the farm's fruit goes wholesale and to markets across Western New York.

About This Farm
Bittner-Singer Orchards at Appleton sits between Lake Ontario and the Niagara escarpment, and explains better than anyone why fruit grows here at all.
What You Can Pick
- Cherries - July
The farm also grows apples, peaches, apricots, plums and pears, and sells them wholesale and at markets across Western New York.
Why the Fruit Grows Here
In the farm's own words: "The lake moderates the air temperature and the escarpment keeps the air moderate in the fruit growing season. These moderate temperatures hold back development of the fruit buds in spring, reducing the chance of damage caused by spring frost. They also allow for a longer growing season by delaying the first fall frost. Our rich-sandy loam soils also help our fruit crops to thrive."
Good to Know
The u-pick orchard is closed for the 2026 cherry season. Picking is a July event only: "In addition to our U-Pick Cherries in July, you can Find Us Locally at Farm Markets and other outlets in Western New York."
Pro tip: this is a one-crop, one-month picking farm attached to a large wholesale orchard, so the July cherry fortnight is the whole opportunity. Ring in late June and put it in the diary.
