Grange Co-Op

Really, this place deserves four stars due to their lack of a huge selection. But for a small town like Ashland, it’s to be expected. And really, you can’t ask for more courteous, helpful, kind, knowledgeable staff. I almost always come here for my gardening stuff.

The Ashland branch is one of several branches in Southern Oregon of the Grange Coop, stores primarily for farmers and ranchers, but also catering to the needs of pet owners and gardeners.
This store, unlike the other, larger branches in the area, has almost no clothing but concentrates on the needs of farmers, pet owners and gardeners. The prices are reasonable and the staff is helpful.
All the stores feature bird food and feeders but in the Ashland branch, nearly all the bird feeders are designed to keep squirrels from eating the seeds. Apparently there are lots of squirrels in the town and the people don’t want to feed them, just the birds; one of the few instances of intolerance in this otherwise very tolerant community.

i have been shopping at the grange for 35 years. i am ending my relationship with them due to the fact that i find every employee i deal with to be rude. the grange has many of the things i need to care for my pets and garden, but the way i am treated every time i go there has become intolerable. i have not had the luxury of being asked if i need help out with my heavy items while three employees are watching me struggle out to my car. i stopped an employee to ask a question and he responded by rudely telling me he was on lunch. when i was paying for my items and i swiped my credit card, the card reader said «error» as they sometimes do. the woman behind the counter said to me, «you need to take off your sunglasses.» i guess sniping at the customers is just a pastime for her.
i can’t count the thousands of dollars i have spent there and i have enjoyed the convenience of the grange for so long, it’s too bad the people that work there can’t muster up common courtesy for their customers. thanks grange, it’s been an ok run while it lasted but you won’t be abusing me anymore.

It’s as close to one can get to a rural feed store in what is essentially a suburb. Good selection of soils and amendments, and they will load it in your vehicle for you. Plants, tools, and farming/​gardening clothes, plus a bunch of pet foods and supplies.

I visited this Grange Co-​Op location as part of one of my walks while Gayle was hard at work back at the Peerless Hotel.
The Grange Co-​Op offers a thorough selection of goods for your farm, garden, nursery, pet, and home needs. And like the nearby Ashland Hardware store, this is a great place to consider various home improvement project options. The folks here are also very friendly, helpful, and community minded.
