Introducing Mike and Michelle from Hilltop Farm.
Mike and Michelle have owned and operated Hilltop Farm since February 2020. Their historical property and farmland were actively under agricultural production in the 1800s, and they are currently reviving the fields, sugar maples, and orchards. As of 2025, their orchard offers 26 apple varieties, 7 peach varieties, 5 pear varieties, 6 apricot varieties, and 2 mulberry trees.
They currently offer certified organic apples, apricots, American chestnuts, mulberries, paw paw, peaches, pears, maple sap, maple sugar, and maple syrup. You can find Hilltop Farm’s products at Shortts Farm’s farmstand, the Redding Grange farmers’ market, or call/email to place a pre-order and pickup at the farm in Redding.
When asked about why they pursued organic certification for their farm and products, Mike and Michelle noted that they wanted to “maintain a healthier ecosystem on their farm for the benefit of insects, animals, the fruit trees, themselves, and their customers.”
