Rockford Grange Events
Fill Your
 Pantry
Sunday, 
Nov. 2 
12-4 PM
The annual Fill Your Pantry Market is a chance to stock up for the winter months while also supporting local farmers and producers. The one-day, in person market offers bulk quantities of fall produce like potatoes, garlic, carrots, beets, leeks, onions, and winter squash. Local producers will offer larger quantities of meat, fish, honey, flours, cheese, pickles, beans, grains, dried herbs and other storable food items.
Fill Your Pantry is a great way to continue eating local food throughout the fall and winter months and allows local farmers, ranchers, and producers to move larger quantities before slower winter months.  This is a bulk-focused farmers market, so bring your muscles! 
Food preservation demos will be provided by the OSU Extension Master Food Preservers. Information will be available on successful food storage and on emergency preparedness.
The market will accept cash, credit, debit and SNAP EBT. A number of vendors accept Oregon WIC & Senior Farmers Market benefits.
The Fill Your Pantry Market is coordinated by Gorge Grown Food Network and Rockford Grange.
If you usually receive SNAP benefits, Gorge Grown is matching $1 from your EBT with $100 in Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB)! Or $0 on your EBT will still earn you $20 in DUFB. Now that’s awesome.

New and Existing Member 
Welcoming Ceremony & Potluck 
Wed. Nov 12 // 5:30-8:30 pm
Join Us for a Joyful, 
Welcoming Ceremony!
Whether you joined the Grange last month, last decade, or have been here since time immemorial — this celebration is to honor you!
We are weaving the spirit of the traditional Grange “seasoned” degree initiations into a fresh, lively, and heart-opening story of who we are today and where we are growing together. This is a chance to stand together in community, honor our shared values, and welcome one another—new friends and longtime members alike.
Curious neighbors and not-yet-members are warmly invited to come discover the playful (and maybe a little mysterious ) essence of our modern-day “Elusinian” Grange traditions. We’d love to learn about your passions and explore how we can work, create, and celebrate together in the seasons ahead.
 Schedule
 5:30 PM –  Potluck (bring a dish if you can!)
 6:30–7:30 PM – Welcoming Ceremony in the Hall
Childcare available by request. Kindly RSVP so we can prepare to welcome you well.
Let’s gather, connect, and kindle the spirit of community—see you there!
