Went here with a group of moms with toddlers on a Sunday afternoon. The kids really enjoyed picking a variety of apples and pumpkins and also playing in the jungle gym. I enjoyed the warm apple cider, popcorn and dried fruit. They also have baked goods for sale. You can take a tractor to go further out, but we didn’t venture out too far since some moms had strollers. Nice family outing.

Great place to pick apples, been going here for years. 32 different varieties and the only in the area to have the new Sweetango, yum… You can pick or they have picked in the farm market along with some other local vegetables and fall delights. Weekend they operate a wagon ride out to the Apple orchards and Punkin patch. They have a play area for the kids. In the market you will find popcorn for the little kids and the big kids too. It’s a great destination to pick apples.

Every fall I always go apple picking in Rochester and you can be sure Whittier Fruit Farm is the place I’ll go to every year. They’re on the outer reaches of town but it’s immediately obvious why — they seriously have acres upon acres of apple orchards as far as the eye can see with a TON of different apple varieties available at different times in the picking season. They’ve even bred a few of their own custom apples over the years since they’ve been around for so long! Not only that, the people who work here are friendly but more importantly extremely knowledgeable about all of the fruit and veg they farm. If you’re curious what apple’s good for a salad, pork dish, or pie, these people will know! With such awesomely fresh produce and such insanely good prices(whether you pick yourself or purchase from their store), how can you possibly go wrong? If you go, do yourself a favor and also grab a swig of their bangin’ fresh apple cider too — you will not be disappointed!

Review #200! Pull in to Whittier Fruit Farm’s parking lot and if you’re lucky you’ll be greeted immediately by a friendly farm dog. If your luck continues, he will follow you around as you begin your picking route. My boyfriend and I were craving apples, pie, and crepes and wanted to get some picking in while the pickings were still good! Even on a chilly November morning, there were plenty of apples still waiting for us. If picking isn’t your thing(first of all, it should be), there are pre-picked options inside as well as many other goodies including fresh apple cider donuts.

I haven’t been apple picking since I lived with my parents. Picking apples, strawberries, and blueberries were a regular occurrence at the local farms. Then the preservation process would begin in the form of canning, sauce making, or indulging with pies and smoothies. Cheers to Whittier for bringing back the memories. I hear New York apples are the best. They certainly are good and plentiful. You should see Whittier’s future plans outlined on the side of their barn. They have many more apple varietals they’ll be introducing in 2014 and 2015. Upon walking in, they offer many pre-picked options, but you can pick your own. With or without a map. After my cold weather experience, go with a map especially if you’re not wearing appropriate footwear. Otherwise, it’s a bunch of fun and the apples are amazingly cheap. Makes me want to go apple picking in my city now.

I grew up right now Whittier and now, even living in Buffalo, I will still make the hour drive just to pick their apples. It is a great farm. I loved the tractor ride to the orchard. The apples are always so delicious. They also grow a very rare type called Topaz. Those are my absolute favorite! I will always keep coming here!

Every fall I look forward to going apple picking here. They take you around the orchards in big cart which is part of the fun and you can munch on the apples as you’re picking them. You fill your big pail with as many apples of as many varieties as you like and then they weigh it to figure out how much you owe. Definitely cheaper and way more fun that just getting apples at the grocery store!
