The Grange will serve an assortment of Thai dishes: spring rolls, goyzas, curry/rice, and Pad Thai. Please bring a complimentary food item for eight to share, lovingly labeled, and your own dishes and utensils. Donation: $10.
Guest Lecturer: The Community Seed Exchange
The Community Seed Exchange is an all-volunteer group of local gardeners and seed savers. They maintain a grassroots community seed library that supports Sonoma County gardeners with free, locally grown, open-pollinated, pesticide- and GMO-free seeds! In their seed garden, they grow many of the seeds available in the library.

All gardeners, with or without seeds to share, are welcome. Gardeners are encouraged to grow out and donate back to the Community Seed Exchange.
The goals of The Community Seed Exchange are to cultivate a network of seed savers in the region, support each other and the seed library as a resource for the expanding community of gardeners, and strengthen our local food system.

Home Gardeners: Please take our survey!

We invite you to take part in a voluntary, anonymous survey to help us understand how much food is being grown, eaten, and shared by home gardeners in Sonoma County.
Knowing what we grow—and how much we are capable of producing—is a vital part of building local food security and resilience. With this information, we can better prepare for challenging times, strengthen community support, and highlight the economic and health benefits of gardening. It also helps guide decisions, plans, and funding opportunities that benefit our community.
Last year, just 25 gardeners reported growing over 5,000 pounds of produce!
