A lot of apple orchards keep them around for pollination but don't harvest them, so you may have to ask them to specially pick you some. If that fails, I have found them at Whole Foods. However, you have to be assertive. I called ahead once and the produce manager assured me he had them. I went to the store after work and couldn't find any. The man working there said he didn't have any. I told him about my converstion with the manager and he still swore he didn't have any. I begged him to look in the back, and lo and behold, boxes full!
