Portland had this before the pandemic, maybe partly due to the size of the restauarant/food service industry here. Some examples include http://www.rinellaproduce.com/products.html and https://www.sheridanfruit.com/. They're wholesalers but have always been open to the public.

Our local restaurants also jumped quickly into selling meal and beverage kits alongside single takeout/delivery meals, and breweries expanded shipping options to serve individual homes. Meat and vegetable farms too, most of which already had the infrastructure through CSAs/farm shares.

Good to hear. Though I find it frustrating when stores don't list prices, like the Rinella Produce website. Prices are one of the most important if not the important factor when shopping! Don't make me call to ask how much 9 mangoes cost.
