Well you if are freezing / canning / cold storing you are probably still preserving the produce at its ideal ripeness. Also I would imagine soil quality and weather are big factors.

Maybe? If you buy heirloom tomatoes you have a choice of dozens of varieties whereas the grocery store sells maybe 3 or 4.
