A-Top Farm

A-Top Farm is a family-operated alpaca breeder in Medina, OH, serving Medina County and the Cleveland area. Owner Gilbert Trill has spent over a decade raising alpacas and follows recommended health testing protocols recognized by national associations for fleece quality and animal wellbeing. Animals graze on rotational pastures, receive daily handling to promote gentle temperaments and have access to roomy shelters stocked with fresh bedding during Ohio winters.

The farm follows an annual shearing schedule each spring with careful skirting to ensure uniform fleece color, consistent micron counts and durability prized by spinners and weavers. While modest in scale, A-Top Farm has built a reputation for clear lineage records and engages with fiber arts groups through local workshops on spinning and dyeing techniques. Sustainability guides its approach, and pastures are managed to support soil health and biodiversity alongside the needs of the herd.

Visitors and fiber artists appreciate the straightforward transparency in breeding practices and the welcoming atmosphere found at A-Top Farm during open days.
