I did some searching and it turns out some apples survive up to a year in a controlled atmosphere, so they are fresh year round. Pretty nuts.

You might be able to find this website on Google, but if you are in the US, this can help you get the freshest produce. I use it all the time. https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/resources/nutrition-education-materials/seasonal-produce-guide

Good point, my sister is one of those people. She has to take medicine before she plans to hang out with dogs or her throat closes. I didn’t even think of allergic reactions at first, but that would be terrible.

I feel like the biggest issue here is that Publix is a grocery store and having dogs around food ain’t really a good idea. Lowes has big “dogs allowed” signs on the front door
