Heaven's Hill Alpacas

Heaven’s Hill Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Washington, PA, in Washington County and the Appalachian Plateau near Pittsburgh.

Michael Gelorme has spent over a decade building a balanced herd, holds membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, and follows health-testing guidelines recommended by regional livestock health authorities. All alpacas receive routine vaccinations and dental exams, graze on rotated pasture, and enjoy daily gentle handling that promotes trust. Nights are spent in a purpose-built barn with natural ventilation and comfortable bedding, fostering social bonding and reducing stress. Seasonal training sessions introduce crias to grooming tools and communal activity.

The hillside pastures overlook rolling meadows inherited from a family that has farmed this land for three generations. The farm’s fiber has earned favorable mention at local fiber shows for its fine fleece and consistent coverage, and natural dye tests show excellent uptake of botanical colors. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the alpacas, reflecting the hands-on care and natural grazing environment.
