Same deal works for us.
We live near one of the great orange producing areas of the world... but production has been decreasing and when you go to the market to buy oranges the grocer is going to put on the shelf what he can get cheapest. It might not be like the hippie food store where Fred worked where they put only the best things on the shelf.
We have oranges from all over the world, including those thick skinned smoked orange skinned monstrosities from Kalifornia. It kills me to see seedless red grapes that cost as much as meat (by the pound) that have leather skins and bitter innards that come all the way from South America.
Local fruit is best but you often have to go to where it is that they sell it and if it is winter, you are SOL.
