In out town we have an apple storage facility. Maybe they don't go to
your store, but they do keep them there for months and ship out during
the year. I go by it a couple of times a week and right now, I see
trucks taking bins into it.

OTOH, we go right to the orchard and the apples we buy are anywhere from
an hour to maybe 36 hours old. I don't buy apples out of season very
often.
