Because most farmers who sell direct to the public from their farms do not add anything to their produce .
If the produce goes to supermarkets or green grocers to be sold there is normally quality control involved where the stuff needs to meet certain criteria in relation to pesticides, herbicides, the way it looks (is presented - size, shape etc) and so on. A lot of it is sprayed to make it glossy, a lot of it has been in cool storage for a long long time and you do not know how fresh it may be.
The good old farmer who sells it to you from his place has some pride in his produce and normally wants you to come back again so he will try his hardest to provide you with the tastiest and freshest produce he can. where the supermarkets don't really care about your custom at all.

Most farm foods are organic so all of the flavour and nutrients and stuff are all kept in the food without having anything added to it - insecticides, preservatives etc.. so most of the farm foods have to be eaten while they are still fresh which also makes them taste better.

Mainly because it has fewer, if any, "E" additives. The basic food is probably virtually the same, after all, a carrot is a carrot, but it is what is added afterwards that is the problem - preservatives, colours, tastes etc - all artificial, and probably poisonous!

I guess its the freshness of the food that makes it so great. No preservatives, no handling or shipping damages, less exposure to harmfull elements. Crisp fresh veggies are the best.

Because it is so fresh and probably produced without a lot of additives too.

The lack of packaging makes it look better and becuase it loks better you expect it to taste better.
