10 NY Fiber Farm Survey Marketing Heritage Story Huacaya Alpaca Suri Alpaca Suri Alpaca- This is currently a rare fleece to obtain there are about 30 animals of this type in NY at this time. My stud s fleece has won Champion at competition. NY Fiber Farm Survey Marketing Local Production Our yarns and most of our rovings are made here in this country by Salt City Fibers or by A+ Fiber Mill in Jordan [New York] Salt City also does Alpaca/ wool blends A+ can do blends very well, but she s stellar at doing heathered color mixing in alpaca, no one better, and I like to support both mills. 10

12 NY Fiber Farm Survey Challenges in Marketing Difficulty finding target market Extensive time & effort to market products Difficulty selling tactile fiber products online Some years having to work harder to sell product because of the economy and [W]almart selling those cheap non animal fiber or fake animal fiber items for 10 bucks when we need to sell sweaters for well over a hundred or even two. When all people are looking at [is] price not the quality. NY Fiber Farm Survey Support sub-culture Benefits Interest in fibers, animals, sustainability, agriculture, farming Social & Community Development Fiber festivals, Fiber tours Agro-tourism & Public engagement Alpacas in the field stop traffic on the road. Visitors often come in for a tour of the farm. Because we also sell eggs, honey, and other farm products, our visitors often go home with more than just fiber products. Plus, the local school loves a fiber farm field trip. 12
