In Wisconsin we have a large number of places that sell locally made cured meats and cheeses. At least where I live, there at 4-5 places all within a 30 minute drive to obtain fresh cut steaks, fresh stuffed brats/sausages, and fresh cured bacon. Same thing with cheeses, and some of the cheese factories will let you tour their small shop and sample the freshest and squeekiest of cheese curds. Pitching in with your friends on a 1/4-1/2 of a cow is also standard practice in these parts. Freezer always has freshly butchered and ground beef.
I'm with you on the bakeries, though. Most fresh breads are either loaves I make myself or obtain from friends. We don't really consume much bread, though. Mostly meats and veggies.
Protip: I'm pretty sure the Injuns on the reservations can hunt year 'round ( or at least they just do) and if you make friends with one you can always score some fresh venison.
