Late Fall Season Apples. Saving the Last for Best

Late Fall Season Apples. Saving the Best for Last

Late fall apples have the extra honor of being blushed by the evening chill.  I learned from my sister that the cold night air makes the apple red.  Who doesn't like a red apple?
The cameo is a realitvly new apple for OLO (Our Litte Orchard).  It is fresh with a lovely fragrance.

Eve's Delights or the Big Uglies, as I have come to know them, are an exciting variety.
An excellent web site for these is beautiful-ugly-apples.

A Jonagold is a cross between a Jonathan and a Gold (an or Yellow) Delicious,  On of my all-time favorite late apples.  Jonagold_Apples

Jonareds are a combination of Jonatha's and Red Delicious.  These apples are used a lot for apple sauce since their skin is so red.

A big seller each year is the Spy.  For some of our customers, it is the only apple they'll use for their baking.

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.                                 ...
