Everyone might not agree, but home grown and farmer's market tomatoes are almost always BETTER than supermarket tomatoes as far as texture and taste goes. Nutritionally, they could be about the same, but it depends on how they are grown. If they are grown in nutrient-rich soil, the home grown ones are likely to have better nutrition.

I believe that a white blemish on a tomato is caused by the stink bug - they are grey bugs that suck the juice out of tomatoes.
When you buy tomatoes from the store they are mostly sprayed with chemicals to keep bugs of them which make them a bit bitter. When you grow them yourself they usually not sprayed with chemicals so they are sweet and can also be called organic.
This is not a question it is an opinion. apex - tomatoes; strawberries ;)

Here is a bit of tomato trivia: Every state in the U.S. grows tomatoes except Alaska. Thomas Jefferson was one of the first Americans to grow tomatoes at his Virginia home as early as 1781. China grows more tomatoes than any other country. Now to answer your question, here is what I found: Florida has the largest fresh tomato industry -- grows 50% of all the domestically produced tomatoes.
