What is a Grange?
In 1867, the founders of the Grange saw a need for a social, educational, and political fraternity to support rural life. Farm populations and farming methods were changing across the country. Through the Grange, people could work together to market their farm products, address political issues, keep up with the latest improvements in agricultural science, and enjoy social events like dances and theatrical performances. From the beginning, women have been voting members in the Grange, valued partners in the business of farming and the ongoing education of young and old alike.
Irving Grange
We are your neighbors, friends and co-workers uniting in the Santa Clara area of North Eugene to support and strengthen our diverse suburban community.
We achieve this through community service, organizing events for the community, providing space to gather, supporting local agriculture and promoting citizenship.
Irving Grange is an all-volunteer non-profit fraternal organization that is part of a vast network of Granges all across America. The Grange is a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization historically rooted in bringing voice to farmers. Over the years many Granges have become less rural as cities grow, and the Grange has adapted to support a broader community.
While membership in the Grange is fun and helps to maintain this important resource in Santa Clara, you don’t have to be a member to be involved!
