McIntyre was born near Loch Lomond, Scotland in 1851. The son of Peter McIntyre and his wife Jane (née McFarlane), he came to Australia with his family in 1862, sailing on the Ocean Chief and landing at Moreton Bay. He found work at several Stations over the years before establishing the Greenmount Cheese Factory in 1893. He went on to open a further two cheese factories at Zahley (near present-day Goombungee) and Quinalow.[1]
