4 miles is not very far at all on a bike, 30 isn’t too crazy either. I think people misunderstand just how far you can travel on a bicycle.

As I noted to the person who recommended the horse, I can’t carry 6 weeks of groceries 30-odd miles on a bike. The local store has basics but is far from everything I’d need, and generally at a hefty mark-up for a lot of things not produced locally (it’s how they can stay in business, I’m not judging).

I’m not saying it would be practical in your case, but you could definitely carry 6 weeks of groceries on a cargo bike (ebike would be better given the load though). Hell, you might even be able to do that on a regular bike. I can fit at least 60 liters of groceries into my Portola, and that isn’t even including the top rear cargo rack. In an actual cargo bike, you could probably fit like 2+ months of groceries.
