So they just have a bunch of green coffee beans sitting around and getting old? Are they constantly discarding old stock to make room for new beans?

Green coffee doesn't really go stale—it can be kept in storage for long periods of time without loss of quality.

Once you roast it, it's a different story—it's recommended to consume coffee ideally within two weeks of roasting.
