Whittier Farm, Rochester
Whittier Fruit Farm
The Whittier Fruit Farm has been owned and operated by the Russell family since 1974. Ray and Judy Russell quickly replaced the very tall and old apple trees with smaller trees which are ideal for picking. They also added other pick-your-own crops such as blueberries, plums, sweet cherries, and pumpkins. Blueberry season runs from mid-July to early September. You can pick your own at the blueberry patch. To get to the blueberry field from the Rochester area, give yourself about an hour. Take Route 390 north to the Lake Ontario State Parkway and drive west until the parkway ends. Turn right (west) on Route 18 and continue for about 20 miles, half a mile beyond the power plant. Look for a sign on the right that says “Russell’s U-Pick Blueberries.”
