About Bittner-Singer Orchards:

Bittner-Singer Orchards, formerly Singer Farms, is a family farm established in 1915. Now owned by the Bittner and Singer families, our orchards are located along the shores of Lake Ontario, near Niagara Falls, NY. Our fruits are influenced by the climate and soil located along the lakeshore.
