Eating Organic While Travelling

We are going to be away in another state this weekend. In a part of the country that hasn't embraced organic yet, and with a beloved relative who is on an extremely limited budget (buys Chinese dollar store foods for her pantry--and now I feel like I should have to put this in CP for mentioning that!).

We have two options when we go for a visit, as I see it:

Menu plan, shop for organic ingredients, and pack massive coolers to bring there

Shop for food an hour away at the nearest Big Box Store that has organics and bring them in on the way there

It takes so much time, either way, and is absolutely a logistical hassle that sucks the joy out of the trip up there. (I suppose there's always, "Don't visit at all" as a third option, but we won't choose that one ever!) What options am I not seeing to make this easier?

Could you pre-make the meals and take them? When we go camping, I do every possible step I can at home which usually amounts to everything but the cooking. That would reduce excess packaging/food cut-offs and make it easier to whip something up for your family and relatives.

ive found that Walmart super store have quite a bit of organic food offerings everywhere I have gone if that might be an option for you. for example when I go on road trip I bring my French press, fresh ground coffee and raw sugar with me and I only use organic half and half in a cooler. but when I run out on the road I have always found it along with organic smuckers peanut butter and usually some type of bread or crackers along with organic bananas and other fruit and some veggie at Walmart of all places
