2021 PA State Grange 150th Anniversary Cookbook

The newest cookbook published by the Pennsylvania State Grange in celebration of 150 years of service. It's filled with hundreds of recipes from Grange members across the state.

Cost $25 + $5 (shipping/handling)

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 led to the reprinting of many editions and the publishing of new editions.  

Perry Valley Grange has a limited number of the various cookbooks available for purchase. Many of the older books have been reprinted and all copies are brand new, never used. You may purchase them by calling Douglas Bonsall at 717-921-1957. The cost varies by book and is shown below along with a description of each book.  Please add the applicable shipping cost for any books that must be mailed.
