Pullman, Washington · serving our community since 1899

Where do·ers belong.

Grange isn’t a building—it’s a place where people gather and become family. We welcome people who care about agriculture, community, and getting useful things done.

A place to belong and contribute

Community grows when people pitch in.

Rooted in fraternity and cooperation, the Grange brings together do·ers—people who imagine what could make life better, roll up their sleeves, and help make it happen. Through events, education, and partnerships, we meet local needs and cultivate community.

Our intergenerational approach means the whole family is welcome. Adults and young people age 13½ and older may apply for membership, and children ages 5–13 can join Junior Grange. You do not have to be a farmer; producers and consumers who care about agriculture both belong here.

National recognition

Whelan–Ewartsville is a 2026 Distinguished Grange.

Whelan–Ewartsville was one of 58 Granges nationwide honored for work completed from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Nearly 1,700 Junior, Community, Pomona, and State Granges currently operate in 36 states.

Now in its 17th year, the Distinguished Grange program recognizes Granges that put the organization’s values into practice through community service, strong communication, meaningful programs, advocacy, membership growth, leadership development, and steady local involvement.

“This is an accomplishment each of them should be incredibly proud of because it represents the work their members have put in throughout the year to strengthen their Grange and serve their communities.”Christine Hamp · National Grange President

Our Massey-Harris Pony brought home Reserve Champion honors.

The Massey-Harris Pony wheel tractor was entrusted to the Grange by the late Stanley Brozana Jr. His daughter, Amanda, and son-in-law, Scott, are members of Whelan–Ewartsville Grange, making the fair recognition especially meaningful to our Grange family.
