If its anything like our farmers market I'd bet they aren't actually locally grown.
It's really hard to unpack which of our vendors are truly local; and which just buy produce from wholesalers, slap a "Name's Family Farm" sign on the table, and pretend to be locally grown.
You'd be a lot better off going to the actual orchard, but those are often 1+ hours away.
I'm in Seattle. You would think I could reliably find good apples here.
I can not. Even at farmer's markets, it's obvious some of the offerings have been stored... which makes me question the stuff that isn't obvious. At least it's better than the supermarkets, which have been selling New Zealand apples... in Washington... in September... yeah no thanks!
They also sell apples on their website for local delivery in the Seattle area (in semi-large quantities only). Their honeycrisps are very good in my opinion, I usually buy 40 pounds a couple times a year. They also have other good fruit in season (e.g. peaches, nectarines; cherries are okay).
