Hilltop Hideaway Alpacas, LLC

Hilltop Hideaway Alpacas, LLC are alpaca breeders in Craigsville, VA, serving Augusta County and the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. Elaine Simpson and Preston Simpson have raised alpacas for over a decade and maintain membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with routine health screenings and fiber quality testing to support herd well-being. Their herd enjoys roomy paddocks, daily hands-on socialization, and seasonal shearing by experienced staff.

The farm’s hillside pastures offer natural forage and gentle slopes that encourage movement and strong joints. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the animals and the fine softness of their fleece. Hilltop Hideaway Alpacas sits at 511 Bennett Springs Lane, where thoughtful husbandry and a deep respect for these camelids guide every decision. Their breeding program emphasizes balanced conformation, robust health, and consistent fleece quality across generations. As participants in local fiber festivals, they share hands-on workshops on fleece processing techniques.
