MEMBERSHIP

MEMBERSHIP

COST: We are not a co-op! There is no fee to join.

What if I change my mind and want to cancel membership?
Membership of a Member may be cancelled at any time for any reason by the Member or at the discretion of the ABP.

I'm just a small farm -- can I join?
Yes! ABP also encourages group memberships, including affiliate memberships to save on shipping costs. Get together with members of your local AOBA
affiliation or others in your alpaca network and pool your fiber.

Can I buy blankets without being a member?
Blankets are initially sold to active members at a discounted rate. After that any remaining blankets can be sold to the public at a retail cost.

How many blankets can I purchase as a member?
The number of blankets an active member is able to receive is based on the total number of blankets available.

What if I can't donate fleece every year? Will my membership be terminated? Can I still buy blankets?
There is no requirement for annual donations of fiber. You will not be terminated for missing a year or two of fiber contributions. However, we may be
contacting you to check on your status should we not hear from you after a couple of years. As stated above, blankets will be available first to those who have
contributed fiber in that fiber season, then to the general membership, then finally to the public, if there are any available.

Will you always be selling blankets?
We will always supply to our Members at a discounted rate. We also sell scarves made from the blanket seconds (cosmetically flawed) and alpaca pillows.

What happens after I fill out and submit the membership form on this page?
Once we have received your signed Membership Agreement we will assign you a farm number and guide you from there. Most of the information you need is
in the Membership Agreement and the Fiber Collection Standard (attached to the Membership Agreement).

What do you do with my address information?
All farm information is confidential. We won't even post a link to your website without your explicit permission!

Any questions we didn't address? Ask us! Contact us at AlpacaBlanketProject@yahoo.com!
