Meet the Team

Sarah Ciesielski

Owner and CFG (Chief Flower Grower)

My family has called Petoskey home for five generations, and it is my greatest joy to continue that legacy by cultivating the land. Whether I’m in the office or out in the fields with our trusty black labs by my side, my mission is the same: to grow beauty that celebrates the spirit of the Great Lakes. At Hilltop House Farm, we aren't just growing flowers; we’re growing the backdrop for the happiest days of your lives.

Farmer Kyle

Head of Projects & Produce

Every flower farm needs a "Project Manager extraordinaire," and we have the best. Kyle grew up in these woods and fields, and he’s the one who turned our Hilltop House dreams into actual farm rows. While I’m focused on the color palettes and petal counts, Kyle is in charge of the "Veg & Infrastructure"—making sure our soil is healthy and our structures stand up to that famous Northern Michigan wind. He’s the secret ingredient to our success and the best partner a 1st-generation farmer could ask for.
