I don’t know where you are, but at least a few places I’ve lived have had produce boxes you can sign up to receive. Some are fruits and vegetables too ugly to sell, others are mixed seasonal goods from a local farms. They range in price but all of them have been cheaper (for me) than the grocery store and are usually delivered.
The downside is the planning and work to make the most of whatever you get.

We had a local organic CSA that we supported for years, but it got too expensive at the time. I was hoping to go back to them, but they closed down :(
We do have a few farmer’s markets and small farm vendors around here during the warmer months. I’m hoping to support them.
I will also consider something like what you suggested 👍
