A farm with its main house and other buildings, or a local organization for farmers.
From Latin 'granica' meaning granary, derived from 'granum' meaning grain. It originally meant a storehouse but evolved to mean a whole farm complex.
The Grange movement in America (1870s-1900s) was one of the first successful farmer cooperatives, helping small farmers resist big corporations by pooling resources. The word 'grange' carried political meaning—it represented farmers organizing to fight for fair prices.
