Union Orchard
Where Union Orchard is located
You'll find Union Orchard just outside Union, in the farm country of Cass County, Nebraska. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
Most guests punch 2405 U.S. 75, Union into their phone and let GPS do the work, the entrance is signed from the road and there's a parking area once you turn in.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Cass County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Union itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
