An Autumn Evening at Picnic Hill Orchard

Join us for an unforgettable evening of food, fellowship, and community impact at Picnic Hill Orchard.

Hosted by Jason and Sara Steele, owners of Picnic Hill Orchard, this event celebrates the bounty of the orchard while supporting the mission of the Center for People—a nonprofit dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty and empowering individuals to achieve lasting economic independence.

Set against the backdrop of over 2,000 apple trees and more than 20 unique varieties, the night will feature a five-course seasonal dining experience. Each course is carefully crafted to highlight orchard-fresh produce, heirloom apples, and locally sourced flavors, paired to showcase the best of Nebraska’s fall harvest.

• Five-course dinner featuring seasonal produce and heirloom apple varieties such as Albemarle Pippin, Arkansas Black, Red Winter, GoldRush, and more.
• Unique pairings including red and white wine, bourbon, and orchard-inspired creations.
• Beautiful orchard setting at Picnic Hill Orchard, a family-friendly u-pick apple farm in Lincoln.
• Support a cause that matters, all proceeds benefit the Center for People’s work providing education, workforce development, and essential resources to over 2,000 families annually.

This evening is more than a dinner, it’s an experience that brings together fine food, community, and purpose.
