How to get by as a vegan in a rural area (slrpnk.net)

I live in a vast rural area in the central valley of California. Here, people are fanatical carnivores. There is very little vegan food and I live very far from where most of it is available and don't drive for many reasons many of them environmental. Getting there would require riding a bike in the heat most of the year and people here hate bicyclists. Delivery like doordash is really expensive and only the same two dashers will take my vegan order I've noticed.

Has anyone found any useful tips for this basic kind of situation that I'm driving at?

I got the sense they were only seeking already-prepared foods, eg the doordash mention. Maybe there are no grocery stores that sell a plant-based milk or a soy-based burger near them, but I wouldn't assume that to be the 100% case even if there are no vegan restaurants

No doordash delivers groceries. I'm referring to groceries. I prepare all my own food these days.
