I live in that part of the midwest and we have about a dozen varieties of apples at the grocery store, prices are pretty decent too.

Great lakes? That's where all the good apples come from in the midwest, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan.

I get my honeycrisps from an orchard in michigan. They're definitely there.

County here is 40,000. There's 3 stores with lots of apples in town. (Walmart, a regional chain and a local grocer).

One county over isn't big enough to have a Walmart, but the smaller local grocer does it up with their produce...
