  • ABOUT US


    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. Soon their two sons, Dave and Mark, and their families joined the business.

Unlike many fruit farms in the area, we have trees that are just the right height for a "pick your own" farm. You will find 32 different varieties of apples in a fairly compact area. You also can buy apples already picked in our store.

 

Watch for us at Farmer's Markets and for the farm opening early summer!
