I just thought of this as something to analyze later. In keeping with the Community Supported Agriculture program and the local farmer's market, I am thinking about a small corporation of neighbors. We get together on a Thursday or Friday and make a shopping list of items to get from the farmer's market (I don't know where the closest one is from Leesville/Fort Polk). Everyone purchases 'shares' of the produce, or a price table is established.
On Saturday, one of the families drives to the local market and purchases the items from the market and returns to housing. The member families come over and portion the produce. Of course, there are a lot of holes in this idea, like the simple convenience of going to the grocery store (corporate means easy) and the freedom of doing one's own shopping and buying what you want or need.
But then, the overall idea here is not simplicity, but assuming some responsibilty for small farms. Now to develop a reason why anyone would want to do such a thing.
