While an apple a day keeps the doctor away, 24.4 million Washington-based organic apple cartons keep supplies tight and demand strong heading into 2022. On Christmas Day, the average price per carton of organic apples was $56.26, higher than the $39.83 average seen for conventional apples on the same day. The shipping point for organic apples was 3% higher than conventional, according to USDA data.
