About US

Cultivating goodness in the hills of alaska

Owner and operator, Carey Restino, along with her son, Liam, and daughter, Théa, started farming their land 5 miles above Homer on Diamond Ridge in 2011 and have gradually expanded their operation each year.

We farm vegetables and flowers using high tunnels, hoop houses and outdoor gardens. Our organically-grown vegetables and flowers are now for sale at the Homer Farmers Market, Save-U-More grocery store and through local restaurants starting in late May and running through October.

The goal of Homer Hilltop Farm is to produce highly nutritious vegetables and beautiful flowers at a reasonable cost for anyone in the community while maintaining a quality of life that allows us to enjoy Alaska’s amazing summers.
