About

Charlotte Grange is one of many community Granges in Vermont. All are part of the National Grange organization which was founded in 1867 as a farm support and advocacy group. Charlotte Grange formed in 1908, and like other community Granges, we have a local focus, supporting and strengthening individuals, families and our community through grassroots action, service, education, advocacy and agriculture awareness. We strive to honor our agricultural roots and help build a resilient future for all. Membership is open to all residents aged 14 or older in Charlotte and neighboring towns.
