History
Hilltop Greenhouses opened it's doors in 1995 with a single small greenhouse located at the residence of Maria & Chris McCalley. During the next five years, the business evolved from primarily an herb & flower focus to offering an extensive selection of flowers, vegetables, premium baskets, and patio pots. In doing so, it outgrew the residence and needed to move. In 2002, the business was moved to the newly acquired Lyon's Farm located on the outskirts of Illinois City, Illinois. The century farm was homesteaded by the Lyon's family in the late 1800's and still features a beautiful circa 1900 dairy barn surrounded by old style gardens. The last surviving Lyon's family member, Ruth, lived in the small farmhouse with no running water and raised cattle on the farm until her death in 2002 at the age of ninety-six.
