WHAT IS A GRANGE?
The Grange, which is officially referred to as the Patrons of Husbandry, is a 145-year old fraternal organization with its roots in agriculture. Founded after the Civil War in 1867, the Grange is the oldest American agricultural advocacy group with a national scope. Major accomplishments credited to Grange advocacy include passage of the Granger Laws and the establishment of rural free mail delivery.
OUR FOCUS
Our focus at the Crescent Grange is to provide the community of Broomfield with educational programs in sustainability and permaculture principles, community service, organic food production, social interaction and more. The building is rented to interested parties for a variety of community and non-profit as well as for-profit events. Proceeds go toward improving and maintaining the property and promoting the Grange as a positive, inclusive community organization.
COMMUNITY GARDEN
An oasis in the heart of Broomfield, our organic community garden operates on permaculture principles. The tenets of permaculture are Earth care, people care, fair share. This means that our approach to gardening is restorative to the soil, plant and animal ecology, as well as caring for the people whose lives are enhanced by the garden.
