Quimper Grange is located at 1219 Corona Ave, Port Townsend, WA 98368. Granges (derived from ‘grain’ or ‘granja’ [farm]) were grassroots organizations that sprung up across the US in the 1860's to build strength and community among rural farmers. For over 100 years, the Quimper Grange has supported the Jefferson County community through public programming, concerts, dance, rental space, and a 7,000 sq. ft. all-volunteer Food Bank Growers garden, donating over 2,000 lbs. of fresh produce annually to food banks and other entities around our area. Did you know? The Quimper Grange’s first songbook was “Grange Melodies” published in 1891. It celebrated growing with songs like “The Farmer Feeds Us All” and “Cultivator” and “The Hand That Holds the Bread.” .
