Grange Cookbooks
Granges and Grange members have long cherished their reputation for good cooking. Most Grangers are rural or small town residents with access to fresh wholesome ingredients. Many carry on the tradition of preparing food for their family's consumption along with sharing their time, skills and ingredients to prepare many community meals and fund raising dinners.
It's not surprising, then, that cookbooks have been put together by Grangers for decades to share recipes and household hints. What may be surprising is the continuing popularity of these Grange cookbooks and that demand has encouraged the publication of many different editions.
The following cookbooks are presently available from the local Grange. You may purchase them at any activity at the Grange Hall or by calling Lesta Schreiber at 717-567-6388. The cost of each book is $9.00 to $13.00; $3 per book shipping costs will be in addition to this price for any books that must be mailed.
Please make your check or money order payable to: Perry Valley Grange #1804
