Look for regional producers or farmers markets. I’m lucky to live in upstate NY with ready access to farm stands about 30 minutes away.

Usually smaller producers make different choices in terms of variety.

The US Northeast has so many apples that don’t travel well and have so much flavor: Spenser, Macoun, Empire... on the West Coast they’re all lacrosse balls that taste OK to decent but mainly travel well.

Everyone complains about the northeast re: weather, etc. But there’s a ton of stuff like this that many of us who live here take for granted!

I miss that aspect of New England. Agriculture there is much more local. Apple picking in the fall was a delight.
