Otzar haaretz should have a list of stores on their site. The מה כשר app can also find the closest otzar haaretz store to you.
From what I've seen, Osher Ad in talpiyot has some otzar beis din fruits

I definitely saw one on thursday late at night taped around the tree outside the mikva on paran and it had all the stationary of Machpoud.. it wasnt there over shabbos anymore (but as we know, in Ramat eshkol, signs get ripped down so quickly)
