The commodities (such as rice, raisins, beans, etc.) are fresh since they are harvested this time of year. Most are stored in warehouses throughout the winter, so why not just store them in your house? Also, with the weather cooling down, they keep very well in my garage... as long as I keep them in airtight containers. I usually buy rice, barley (we make lots of soup in our house!), flour, raisins, and granola in October and they usually last us just in time for the weather change in spring (which is usually when our diets tend to change as well).
