All About Our Little Orchard



This page is to give you a little backstory on OLO.  This business was started by my brother-in-law, owner, Chirs Pyle.  He and my sister Peggy have run it since 1985.  

 It is the epitome of a small family business. The site of OLO is part of the homestead on the Zion Road in Bellefonte, PA, including some tress on our brothers' land and some at Chris's parents' home in Rebersburg, PA.   This business needs attention, Fall, Winter, Spring, and especially Summer.

It is a lot of work, but the Pyles are a hard-working family.   If you would like to check them at their Facebook page at Our Little Orchard. It took Chris several years to become established, but now the fruit sold is all from OLO.  As the years have gone, families and friends have lent a hand when needed.  That is what family and friends do. OLO is genuinely a small family business.

2021 SPRINGTIME IS FINALLY HERE

  2021 SPRINGTIME IS FINALLY HERE AT "Robin's Fresh and Fruity" and "Our Little Orchard - Zion Road / Bellefonte, PA." It has been a long and ruff time since my last blog post, but like the rest of the world, we are starting to see some changes for the good.  Here are a few shots to brighten your day from OLO:                                                       Spring Flowers are a sure sign of hope. Yes, those who know OLO may recognize the corner of the fruit display building along with the magnificent Yellow Plumtree.  As the lucky sister, I have gotten to see it in person, and if the weather holds out, all those flowers will turn into delicious and yummy yellow plums. Check out Our Little Orchard's Facebook page for more information on all things Fruity!!                       ...

HAPPY EARTH DAY 2021

Happy Earth Day 2021 from  Our Little Orchard  Yes, it is Earth Day 2021, and what a great way to honor the day by checking out some more pictures from OLO: These are a couple taken from Pegs, my BIG sister, and Mrs. Pyle's second-floor window.  Just to give you an idea of how large the zion orchard location is. They cover cherries and pea ches.  You might also catch a glimpse of some pear trees.     As we all know, the apples are just starting to blossom, but they will be outstanding, weather providing.   Chris Pyle is the owner and worker bee when it comes to getting ready for the upcoming seasons.  Here are just a couple of his tools of the trade. A picking ladder is a must.  Unlike your household ladders, it has a single leg on one side to fit into the tree. Very helpful to get to those hard-to-reach fruits.                                 ...
