Croton-on-Hudson's Hilltop Farms to Close

Correction: A previous version of this story had the wrong closing date.

Hilltop Farms garden center and café will open its doors for the last time on Sunday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Owner Brian Panessa Tuesday announced on the farm’s website that Hilltop Farms is closing. 

“After much soul searching and deliberation, I reluctantly came to this decision,” said Panessa, in his message. “I want you to know how much we appreciated your patronage since the creation of Hilltop Farms.  More than your patronage, I offer you my gratitude for the many pleasant talks that we shared and the wonderful memories.
