Does a potato that comes right out of the ground and go into the pot taste notably different? the onions? the kale?

We think there is a difference in home grown produce, but it may be all in my head. The red potatoes we had this evening were just totally different from anything you buy in the store. They did not look too great from the outside, they were sort of rough and lumpy, but I boiled them in their skins and they were very white and kind of firm or waxy when cooked, but had a really good flavor. The onions were sweet and very strong - just having them on the counter made my eyes water.
Publix also has some excellent grass fed ground beef and ground lamb. Not cheap by any means, but great flavor. But, we also like Fresh Market ground beef which is on sale on a Tuesday for $2.99 lb, and their really good ground sirloin makes excellent burgers. We like Fresh Market meats and fish.
