We have been coming to Bittner Singer Orchards for several years now. Beautiful orchard across from beautiful Lake Ontario. The family has enjoyed picking cherries here, some of the best sweet, dark cherries ever. It was disappointing though to pull in and see so many signs - IN ALL CAPS - with rules. I'm not a farmer, and maybe they've had a theft problem, but to honest people like myself, it was a bit cringeworthy. AND there is an admission charge for anyone older than TWO. I deduced this fee came about because families with many children were arriving and perhaps the Orchard was losing money via eaten-not-paid-for cherries? The $5 will be credited against your produce picked. Then you have a wrist band attached to you that is cut off after your purchase. No backpacks. No diaper bags. No bare feet (ok that's fine). And more. It just took the wind out of my sails to be greeted by signage of rules and docked with an admission fee. The employees were cheerful and attentive. Clean pails and giant plastic bags to line the buckets were ready for our fruit to go in. A nice utility wagon helped with the haul. After, there was a hand washing station and sanitizer available. The dark cherries were truly delicious. Most found their way into several homemade pies. read more

Going to Singer Farms will be a summer tradition! I guess there's over thirty varieties!! You can taste them when picking because each variety was different. My favorite was aisle 46! Tart yet sweet.. Like an awesome natural sweet tart. We picked over 7lbs, which is easy to do with all the varieties. It's supposed to be $4/ lb 1-10 lbs and once you hit over the 10lb mark its $3/ lb. Best, tastiest cherries around and it's an experience for sure!! We stopped at the NY Beer project for a late lunch on the way home! Go Cherry picking at Singer Farms! DO ITTT!!! read more

I found this place when I was recruiting for my work. It's near Lake Ontario. They have lots of local goods including lotions and soaps, more varieties of garlic than you ever knew existed, tart cherry juice, local honey, and local treats. I got a really awesome hot sauce called Karma Sauce Good Karma. I want to get that again! It had super unique ingredients. I would go here if it was closer to where I am on a normal basis. Check it out if you're in the area. Probably a great place to find a unique gift. read more

Went cherry picking for the first time and this place fulfilled the want nicely. End of July is late in the season so quite a few were over ripened but after finding the right trees there were still enough good ones for us to pick over 5lbs of sweet cherries in probably less than 20 minutes out there. Price was $3.50 a lb which if on sale at the grocery store you may find cheaper elsewhere, but these are some quality cherries and since your picking you can avoid all the over ripened ones that you usually get in the big bags at the store. They have a nice little store there as well selling maple syrup, honey, fresh roasted coffee.... all locally made. Also they have a few contraptions to pit cherries they let you test out. The kids found one they loved, the cherry chomper, http://www.amazon.com/Talisman-Designs-Cherry-Chomper-Pitter/dp/B001Q9EK1Y so being the savvy shopper my wife double checked the price on Amazon and they were cheaper in the store, so we picked on up. Pack this in with a couple other stops in the area and you can have yourself a nice day trip on the shores of lake Ontario easily. read more

If you miss the apple or cherry picking season, no worry.... Singer Farms have 60-80 organic garlic varieties to choose from. Every garlic has its own character, some are more fragrant, some are sweeter, and some are more complex. This is the first time that I really want to enjoy garlic uncooked, in its raw state. The staffs at the farm recommended adding garlic at the end of the cooking process, right before serving. This will help to get all the wonderful flavors and health benefits of the garlic. We bought music, slovenian, chinese purple, and hnat. All of them are sweet and beautiful... with aroma, flavor and finish lingers in the mouth after the spicy punch. One of the greatest things of all, ....Singer Farms garlic are super easy to peel. Wish they also sell organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar... it will be perfect Tips: while you are in Appleton, you can stop by couple of interesting places nearby: - The Olcott Beach Carousel Park to check out an antique band organ (still fully operable) - The Lockport Locks and Erie Canal at Lockport read more

I love coming here to pick cherries. The first time I heard about this farm was at the North Tonawanda farmers market on Payne and Robinson. I've made yearly trips out to Singer. There are about 6 different kinds of cherry trees and many rows of trees. You can sample the cherries at the entrance and a farm employee will tell you which rows to find the cherries you like. read more
