Cherries - Sweet (20 lbs)

When you bite into a crisp local apple from FreshFix, there’s a good chance it came from Bittner-Singer Orchards—a family farm rooted in generations of dedication to growing some of the best fruit in Western New York. Located in Appleton, NY along the fertile Lake Ontario shoreline, this orchard has been a cornerstone of local agriculture for decades, supplying fresh apples, cherries, and stone fruit that reflect both tradition and innovation.

The Bittner family has been farming in the region for over a century, and today their partnership with the Singer family continues that legacy. Together, they’ve built a thriving orchard that’s become one of the largest family-owned fruit farms in the Northeast. But don’t let their size fool you—at the heart of Bittner-Singer is still the hands-on care, stewardship, and love for farming that started it all.

Their growing philosophy blends old-fashioned know-how with forward-thinking techniques. The farm practices Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a science-based approach that reduces pesticide use by monitoring pests carefully and using natural solutions whenever possible. They also invest in new orchard plantings—denser, trellised rows that make harvesting more efficient while reducing environmental impact. This thoughtful approach not only improves the quality of the fruit, but also helps sustain the land for future generations.

What can you expect from Bittner-Singer? Their apples are the star, with varieties ranging from Honeycrisp and Gala to classic Empires and Cortlands. They also grow cherries, peaches, and plums, adding sweet bursts of flavor to Western New York summers. By supporting them through FreshFix, you’re not just getting the freshest seasonal fruit—you’re helping preserve farmland and support a family business that feeds our community.

When you choose Bittner-Singer fruit, you’re casting a vote for local agriculture, sustainable farming, and generations of expertise. It’s more than an apple—it’s a story of family, land, and the taste of home.
