You can resupply the soil nutrients with manure or compost. But you need to let the fruits ripe naturally and not spray it with chemicals to hasten the process.

My in laws own a small farm and their fruits have always been tastier than the market, but in much smaller size.

This is the way. The soil needs rest. Our soil is not resting.

Yes and probably also most stuff is harvested super early to prolong travel and shelf life, and i suspect cutting the fruit from te plant stops the nutrient absorption early which reduces nutrient content compared to the fruit that ripens on vine(etc).
