Any tips for going Vegan in the Deep South?

I have really been wanting to pursue a vegan lifestyle for health reasons. I have a lot of food allergies/intolerances and becoming vegan would greatly help that. The problem is I just moved back into the Deep South (MS). I had been living in North Texas, where I had access to Whole Foods and organic markets. I just wondering if any fellow Southerners had tips on going Vegan.
