Please consider joining the Rockford Grange to support local farmers, sustainable practices, and home gardening as well as stewarding a historic building for community use.

Membership to the Rockford Grange is on a rolling 12 month period. Renewals will be due at the quarterly anniversary of your enrollment. As a Fraternal organization, all community Granges pay a significant portion of member dues to the State Grange each quarter. The State Grange pays a portion of those dues to the National Grange. That is why paying your dues promptly is important, as thus is the influence and connection of our movement strengthened.
Dues are tax deductible for the Rockford Grange as we are part of the Oregon State Grange which is a 501c3 non-profit organization; however, Donations are not tax deductible.
