Vermont State Grange

The Grange is America's oldest national agricultural organization, with grassroots units established in 3,600 local communities in 37 states. Its 300,000 members provide service to agriculture and rural areas on a wide variety of issues, including economic development, education, family endeavors, and legislation designed to assure a strong and viable rural America. The Grange was one of the first formal groups to admit women to membership on the basis of equality with men. It remains so today. The Grange is a family organization and children are welcome at all meetings and events.

 

A person who becomes a member of the Grange can expect to find a welcoming pathway to membership, outstanding fellowship with leaders & respected citizens of the community, the encouragement to meet & make new friends and the opportunity to lead. To join the Grange, please contact Errol Briggs (802) 479-5152, or email jjem1999@yahoo.com for more information!
