Depends where you live. Where I live in New England there are lots of local orchards and supermarkets carry maybe a dozen varieties. Probably more than the farm stands actually because some varieties like Granny Smiths are mostly not grown locally.

Of corse where I live is pretty much apple orchard central. My neighbor has an orchard and “Johnny Appleseed” was from the next town over.

This. This holidays I've visited a friend and they have a shop that just sells apples from the orchard just next to it. Doesn't solve the availability problem but nothing will.

True. Local stores are nearly non-existent in Sweden. Even the smallest ones belong to a supermarket chain.
