Granges are large farms that are typically owned and operated by a cooperative of farmers. They are usually located in rural areas and are used to produce food for the local community. Granges are also used to store and process agricultural products, such as GRAIN, hay, and livestock. The term grange is derived from the Latin word granum, which means 'GRAIN.' Granges have been around since the Middle Ages and are still used today in many parts of the world.
