Hilltop Farm, established in September 2015 on the outskirts of Ballinagar, is located in Co Offaly, Ireland.

Hello, we are Alan & Catriona McIntyre, and we want to introduce you to the lovely members of Hilltop Farm - our daughters Amy & Jenny. Balancing our regular jobs with the delightful task of caring for our alpacas, we happily call ourselves part-time farmers. Each day is a beautiful journey filled with immense love and unwavering commitment to these adorable creatures who have become an integral part of our lives.

We originally began with a pair of pregnant females named Apollo and Astra. Our initial intention was to raise the two cria and then find suitable buyers for them once they reached the right age.

Surprisingly, Apollo, Astra, and their  first two cria, Bronson and Blanchett, are still part of our farm. These original cria displayed an exceptional friendliness toward humans, which inspired the creation of Hilltop Farm. Their natural inclination for human interaction played a significant role in the establishment and growth of our beloved alpaca community.

However, as time went on, our Alpaca family grew to include 35 members, encompassing both Huacaya and Suri breeds. 

Looking out of the kitchen window provides a timeless view of our farm. We are fortunate to spend our days observing these graceful creatures in action. Our time is well spent watching them in their enclosures, whether they are strolling serenely, frolicking energetically, dashing about, or displaying their playful antics that never cease to bring us joy.
