About Us

Mike & Stef (the Brays)

Hilltop Plants & Records is a project that brought two of our loves, music and gardening, together. We both spent time in our 20’s at record shops and owning a record store had always been a dream of ours. We live a few blocks from the shop and are passionate about Mount Vernon and its thriving arts community.

Kaden Walker

Kaden holds down the fort on Fridays and you might hear him spinning the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, or whatever record he’s in the mood for that day. He’s a religious studies major at the University of Iowa & getting married in August. Congrats, Kaden!
