Eugster's "Choice" CSA
An original version of a modern CSA
Eugster’s “Choice” CSA
Our CSA is $300 and includes $107 worth of additional perks! Many healthcare providers have Wellness Programs that offer full or partial payment of your CSA membership, as well. Read below about the special perks you get when you join our CSA!
Eugster's "Choice" CSA means you get to pick out your own produce, meaning no vegetable boxes full of unwanted produce like other CSAs. Choose your produce at our farm, or one of our stand locations, anytime during open hours.
The sign-up deadline is May 15, 2024, or until we're sold out.
Mail-in checks must be sent by May 1st, to allow us processing time.

What's a CSA, Anyway?
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” Consumers buy “shares” of a farmer’s harvest before the season begins, and are able to enjoy produce for the whole summer. It like investing, you pay upfront so farmers can pay for their seeds, fertilizer, etc, in the early months before any vegetable income comes in, and “investors” are able to earn "dividends," a.k.a, getting more produce than you paid for!
It also connects the consumer and producer more personally; so you know exactly where your food is coming from. Both the farmer and the CSA member really benefit from this cool relationship, and we are very excited to be offering this program on our farm.
How We're Different
When most people think of CSA, they usually picture a box of veggies that you pick up from a weekly drop-off spot. Here at Eugster’s Farm Market, we’ve made some changes to the old model, including:
-
Instead of a pre-packed box of random produce, Eugster’s “Choice” CSA allows you to pick what produce you want! Simply come to our Farm Market located between Stoughton and Oregon (or one of our stand locations), and grab as much or as little of each vegetable or fruit you’d like. Redeem your CSA vouchers like cash at the check-out, and be on your way!
-
We realize every week might be too big of a commitment for some folks. Eugster’s Choice CSA gives two vouchers for each two-week period. You can use two vouchers at any point in the designated two-week period, such as at the same time, or one a week.
-
While other CSAs have designated pick-up times, our members are free to pick out their produce whenever it’s convenient for them during our open hours. That’s over two weeks to use your two vouchers! But remember, we are closed on Tuesdays.
-
Most CSAs cost around $500-800 for 24 weeks of produce. We wanted our program to be affordable, so we start a little later into the season, resulting in about 18 weeks of produce, and a membership that costs only $300 (for $330 worth of produce)!
-
As mentioned above, we’re glad you’ve chosen to be a part of our CSA program, so we’re offering over $77 in complimentary farm items as well!
Referral Program
-
If you were a member in 2023 and refer another CSA member to us, you will receive a $25 coupon for anything in our store, such as eggs, pickles, jam, honey, lotion, etc! There is no limit on the number of referrals- we want to spread the word to the local communities about our exciting CSA program!
-
Please have the members you are referring send an email to csa@eugsters.com with both their name and yours, so you get your referral coupon!
-
The deadline to refer new members is May 1st, 2024.
Sign Up
-
You can purchase our CSA online through our Website with a credit card by May 15th, 2024. This year we are also offering a mail-in check option. Mail-in checks must be sent by May 1st to allow for processing time.
-
The online payment can be accessed through our website by clicking “CSA” in the menu bar.
-
Remember, the email you use in this step is the email we will be communicating to you with for the rest of the season!
-
For the Mail-In Check Option, please include the attached information form with your check to submit all the facts we’ll need from you for the season!
How to Use Vouchers
-
Vouchers will be picked up at our farm market, located at 3865 State Road 138, Stoughton, WI 53589. No need for an extra trip, either, just grab your vouchers whenever it’s convenient to pick out your first round of vegetables!
-
There are six “extra” vouchers that are redeemable anytime during the season. If you want extra apples for making pie, or want to bag some freezer corn, simply use your extra vouchers that week to get more produce than usual!
-
Vouchers cannot be partially used, they must be fully used in one transaction.
-
Vouchers must be present for all transactions to be redeemable.
-
Vouchers cannot be used for non-produce items such as honey or eggs.
-
We are closed Tuesdays, so vouchers will expire at close on Mondays and Wednesdays will mark the start of the next voucher period.
-
Vouchers can be redeemed at our Farm Market, or at one of our street stands. Street Stands start around corn season, so the first few weeks of vouchers will likely only be redeemable at the Farm Market. Our stands this year are tentatively in Middleton (on University Ave at Midtown Square), McFarland (in the Maple Tree Parking Lot on HWY 51), Oregon (at Dorn Hardware), and Stoughton (at Aslesons Hardware) - although we recommend coming to our Farm Market since there will be more variety in produce.
-
This year we’ve made coupons easier to use, they are pre-cut and ready to use!
Please note that each voucher may only be used for one transaction for simplicity’s sake. We are closed Tuesdays so vouchers will expire when we close on Mondays and Wednesday will mark the start of the next voucher period.
