Grange MovementThe Grange Movement was a way to support farmers. Now, years later Progressive Granges across California are defining a new agenda. The Grange is the oldest agricultural fraternity in the country. Yet over the years, many organizations have emerged to provide assistance in strengthening the economics of the family farm, installing production methods using alternative energy, balancing the needs of farms & fisheries, supporting "buying fresh - buying local".
