Your seat at the table. Your people around it.

Farm to Table is an intimate evening designed to bring people together over locally sourced, high quality food & drinks, live music, and a beautiful setting at Dillon Nature Center.

This year, we're introducing reserved tables for groups of eight. Individual tickets provide admission with open seating, while a reserved table ensures your entire group can sit together throughout the evening.

Reserved table: $600 for 8 guests
Individual tickets: $65/person

If you're planning to make Farm to Table a night out with your favorite people, reserve the table and know you'll be together.

Something different will be happening at Dillon Nature Center this week.

On August 11, 12 and 13, the Hutchinson Fire HFD will be using DNC grounds for rural water operations training — practicing the techniques firefighters rely on when responding to rural fires where traditional fire hydrants aren’t available.

And there’s a pretty great benefit for Dillon Nature Center, too: approximately 300,000 gallons of water will be pumped into our pond!

Because of the training, our entrance drive will be closed during the daytime on all three days. Visitors are still welcome to enjoy DNC, and can use the exit drive as your entrance during the training.

We’re proud to partner with our local firefighters in a way that helps them prepare to protect our community and helps replenish the natural resources right here at Dillon Nature Center.

Sometimes, community partnerships look like 300,000 gallons of water. And sometimes, they look like being ready when our community needs you most. 🚒
