After the labor involved, I doubt it is that cheap. We have tried growing our own tomatoes before. When blindfolded, the wife couldn't consistantly pick out what she grew from the store bought ones when they were about the same ripeness.
As to the beef, not sure. Had New Zealand grass fed beef and it was tougher than the US corn fed stuff.
Edit: Got a great deal on some private farmed beef that brought the cost down to the good stuff at the supermarket. Not much real difference when grilled. Grilled a Steak and a patty. Tested it against the regular stuff but I doubt that if blindfolded, I could tell the difference. I suppose if the price were more than the store stuff, I'd go with the store. Less than store stuff, I'll buy it.
