Hilltop Terrace

Hilltop Terrace, an alpaca breeder in Colton, CA, operates in San Bernardino County near Riverside. Since its founding in 2018, its herd has gradually expanded while maintaining community-focused breeding that aligns with Alpaca Owners Association health and pairing guidelines.

Owner Alisha Cooper maintains open pasture paddocks so animals can graze on mixed grasses and shelter under shade structures crafted on site. Each cria is handled daily, introduced to the farm’s resident dogs and local visitors to promote calm temperaments and practical show preparation. The farm follows routine vaccinations and annual health checks, organizing hoof care and mineral supplementation throughout the year. Small-batch fiber processing on site supports local artisans who transform soft fleeces into yarn, reflecting a measured approach to sustainability and community ties. Cooper also specializes in temperament assessment for therapy work, placing select animals in visit programs for schools and memory-care facilities.
