There was a local news story on this topic just a few days ago IIRC. There are farmer's markets in many communities here, and at first they were all seriously bashed by the lockdown. Then they had a bright idea: Several of them organized, created a website, and posted their wares there. So customers can go to the website, choose what they want to buy. The vendors package their stuff and gather it together at a distribution point, the customers stop by for a pick-up only.
The scheme works: keeps the businesses going, and minimizes contact points. It's not been "universal" but for the ones that did it, it has been successful.
