Farm Dinner Series 2027

Fifteen years of farm dinners! I know some of our longtime supporters remember the early days of eating under a narrow pergola with no roof, with chefs cooking on portable burners under leaky pop tents. As we break ground on our new indoor kitchen, it’s safe to say we’ve come a long way, baby.

The team at Churchview is proud to kick off our fifteenth season with the 2027 Sunday Dinner Series, featuring a variety of concepts from a lineup of new and returning restaurants and chefs. Each event is an authentic and elevated farm-to-table experience, enjoyed in direct proximity to the fields where the food is grown, and our various flower, herb, and pollinator gardens.

Your experience begins with the opportunity to roam our grounds and gardens, followed by a one-of-a-kind menu centering on seasonal products from Churchview with thoughtful wine, cocktail, and spirit-free beverage pairings.

See listings below for details, including dietary accommodations provided specifically by each chef for their unique menus. Alison Hillard, CVF General Manager, will reach out via email in the weeks prior to each event to confirm these details with our guests.

Chef/owner Kate Romane, Black Radish Kitchen

Black Radish Kitchen and Chef Kate (raise your hand if you remember e2 in Highland Park) are where this series began nearly a decade and a half ago. We’re excited to have Kate and team kick off our fifteenth season along with some other longtime pals, the incredibly knowledgable folks behind Allora Wine Group.

Funny name, incredible food. Chef Mike and EYV Restaurant have been a fixture in the Pittsburgh dining season, Best Restaurant lists, and the Churchview lineups for years - and for good reason. Find out what kind of magic a celebrated veg-focused chef can make with all the fresh bounty from the CVF fields.

Chef Kristin Butterworth, Cork & Crust

From the famed Lautrec at Nemacolin Woodlands, to Forbes Five-Star resort Sea Island in Georgia, and now perched at Cork & Crust in Oakland, our good friend Chef Kristin Butterworth is an incredible and versatile talent. Her dinners tend to sell out instantly for a reason - because a dinner at Churchview with Chef Kristin is an experience like no other.

Chef/owner Dave Anoia & owner Aimee DiAndrea, DiAnoia’s Eatery

Though we’ve been working with Chef Dave and team since the popular DiAnoia’s Eatery opened ten years ago, this event was a new-to-Churchview concept for our 2026 season. Guests were thrilled, and we can’t wait to bring it back. Pranzo in Italian translates to an hours-long meandering midday meal, filled with delicious food and drink, served casually in a manner that encourages guests to celebrate and interact. And I must say, I think we nailed it. Start time for this event is 12:30 pm.

Chefs/owners Jacque & Nate Schoedel, The Speckled Egg

One of our most beloved Sunday events, this five-course farm-to-table brunch by the team behind Speckled Egg returns once each season by popular demand. Bubbles and brunch on the farm, from another of the top restaurants in Pittsburgh? What could be more delightful. Start time for this event is 11:30 am.

Chef/owner Danielle Cain & owner Rob Hirst, Hey Babe

This talented Pittsburgh duo, well known for good reason, are also early-days Farm Dinner Series veterans. In fact, Chef Danielle was one of the first chefs to cook with us fifteen years ago during our very first season. It’s been a while since they’ve been on the farm, and we’re beyond thrilled to have them back as the incredibly delicious, ultra hip, and already renowned Hey Babe.

Chefs/owners Jamilka Borges & Dianne DeStefano, Lilith and (opening spring 2027) Giulia

Chefs Jamilka and Dianne have been part of Churchview events in various capacities practically from the start. From careers in some of the area’s finest kitchens, to creating one of the best spaces and dining experiences around (and on the verge of launching a second) they prove that the best of friends can make the best of teams. Lilith is a Pittsburgh gem, and we absolutely cannot wait to see and taste all that their new venture, Giulia, has in store.

Chef/owner Justin Steel & owner Caitlin Steel, Senza

A sweet little spot in Etna, Senza is everything you could want in a local wine bar. With an ever-changing seasonal menu filled with outstanding small plates, bright and cozy vibes, and a wine list that features classics and new discoveries, it’s a fan favorite. We’re grateful to have them back in the Sunday Series as they bottle up that Senza magic and bring it to Churchview.

Chef/owner Fernando Navas & owner Meredith Boyle, Balvanera

From their original location, a popular little Argentinian spot tucked into the East Side of NYC, to the impeccably designed sunshine-filled space in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, it’s widely known that some of the consistently best food in the city comes out of the kitchen at Balvanera. And (lucky us!) every few years we’re able to convince them to bring their fabulous team and talents to Churchview. Don’t miss this one next season.

Executive Chef Marcella Ogrodnik, Duo’s

Brand new to Churchview, we are thrilled to host Chef Marcella of Duo’s on the farm next season. A native of Pittsburgh, Marcella spent time cooking in Bay Area spots including The French Laundry and Ramen Shop before making her way east to High Street Bakery in Philadelphia, and eventually back home to Pittsburgh. We’re glad she landed at Duo’s, and can’t wait for her to bring examples of her creative and incredibly inspired Mexican dishes to Churchview.

Chef/owner Nik Forsberg, Fet-Fisk

We’re grateful to be wrapping our fifteenth season with the return of Fet-Fisk, and something tells us that our Farm Dinner guests couldn’t be more excited. We haven’t hosted Chef Nik at Churchview since the popular pop-up evolved into the Bloomfield neighborhood brick-and-mortar; if you’ve ever had Nik’s food in either iteration, you know it’s an expression of farm to table at its most unexpected and most delicious.

Thank you for supporting our community! Your ticket pays for more than the unique food and beautiful surroundings that you and your guests experience on any given evening at the farm. Events at Churchview exist to support our farm, pay sustainable wages, and allow us to operate as a community space for education, programming, and engagement. None of our products are publicly sold. Everything is grown by and given directly to those who come to the farm as part of our zero-cost community-based education, and allocated to our guest chefs for these seasonal events.

All events are rain or shine, all sales are final, and all tickets limited to those age 21 and over. Please review our No Refunds/No Transfers/No Resales policies and Terms of Service here.
