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 wonder if you could buy some of the raw ingredients to make foods you want. If you bought a bulk thing of soybeans, you could make tempeh and tofu with it. There are lots of recipes for seitan out there as well. What else do you wish was more available to you?
