Yep. You have to grow own tomatoes to have good ones. Which is something only few people are willing and have option to do.

Except the available seeds are probably decreasing in quality as well.
No, there are places dedicated to preserving and making available heirloom seeds.

Is there a market for good tasting tomato seeds? :D

It's actually fascinating - I remember my grandmother scooping out the seeds out of vegetables and drying them, to be used next year.

The villagers also traded them as apparently they had different varieties.
