Sunnydale Grange Feeds the Town | Portland News

When Drain’s only grocery store shut down, locals turned to Sunnydale Grange — a tiny farmstand run by Devon Trig and seven local farmers offering fresh honey, milk, jam, and baked goods. Though it can’t replace a big-box store, Trig believes this grassroots effort is vital for rural communities where food access is tough.
