Stoughton's only member-owned grocery

The Yahara River Grocery Co-op is Stoughton and southeast Dane County's only consumer-owned natural foods grocery. Cooperatives are owned by the people who use and benefit from their services and are democratically governed by a board of directors elected by the members.

Your health, your family, and your community.

If you’re like many people these days, you care about the products you purchase – their impact on your health or the health of your family, the importance of keeping money in the local community, the benefits of buying local versus foods from 1,200 miles away, and the experience of cooking with and eating high quality, great tasting foods.

Shop the Yahara River Grocery Cooperative and you’ll help support our mutual mission to help grow a community of healthy individuals, a vigorous local economy, and a higher quality of life for our members and residents of Stoughton and southeast Dane County through the values, products, services, and outreach of a financially sound grocery cooperative.
