I mean, have you reached out to your local farms/CSA groups to inquire about delivery and encourage them to establish something like that? The pandemic definitely pushed a lot of groups to incorporate that into their model, if you haven’t checked recently you might be surprised. I mean, even if it’s just to demonstrate interest for a pick up point in your area or ask if they’re affiliated with a local supplier who does deliver, it never hurts to reach out
I do think one of them has a pick up point at least, none offer delivery, but I’ll have see if I’ll be able to make that work with a small bicycle basket at a time late enough for me to go after work. I’m also afraid of committing to cycle a few extra kilometers every week with the added weight, but we’ll see.
