Who we are
New Market Grange is a community service organization with roots tied to agriculture. You do not have to be a farmer, or even related to one, to be a member. Just have a passion for helping better your community. Our organization has a place for everyone to belong. Whether you are interested in legislative matters, health, education, career development, cooking, crafts, and much more, then New Market Grange has a spot for you! We meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month. All meetings start at 6:30 pm unless stated otherwise.
When you walk through the doors of our Grange Hall, you are met with a friendly “hello” and a handshake. If you’re the hugging kind- we like to give those out too! We foster a sense of pride at New Market. For over 100 years, our Grange has been part of the heart and soul of our community and state. With a rich history, we still have a lot to offer as we look forward to the future.
We hope that you’ll stop in for a visit or contact a member today to find out more.
In the New Market Grange, you are more than just a member. You are family!

History Of New Market Grange No. 362
History of National Grange
The Grange is a family, community organization with its roots in agriculture. Founded in 1867, the Grange was formed as a national organization with a local focus. Our members are given the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential as citizens and leaders.
The family is the base of the organization with full membership beginning at age 14. Women have been equal members since the inception of the Grange. We have a Junior Grange program for children age 5 to 14, which has helped the youngest members of the family learn about community values and citizenship for more than 100 years. Our Grange Youth program develops the leadership skills of our young adults and young married couples.
The foundation of the organization is the Community Grange, which can be found in rural, suburban and urban communities. Faith, hope, charity, and fidelity are the basic lessons of the Community Grange. To learn more, see the National Grange Declaration of Purposes.
The Grange has four levels, Community, County or District (Pomona), State, and National to ensure that the membership’s voice is heard at the appropriate place. Our membership sets the direction and activities for their Community Grange in true grassroots fashion and those decisions seep up to the national level. Nonpartisan legislative advocacy, educational programs, service projects, social interaction and networking are just a few of the ways local Granges serve their communities and members.
