Eligibility

Located just one and a half hours north of NYC, Open Grange is very accessible, yet a world away. Our space is designed for community-oriented and mission-driven remote workers and creatives. We have a strict Covid-19 policy to ensure our space is safe for residents and offer door-to-door pick up in the NYC area to help mitigate exposure. We also have a Solidarity Fund for BIPOC, in recognition of the structural inequalities that have historically separated Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color from access to farms, land, and economic resources.
