I'm just a small farm and don't have 100 pounds of fiber. How can I join?
ABP encourages group memberships, including affiliate memberships. Get together
with members of your local AOBA affiliation or others in your alpaca network and pool
your fiber. If you have difficulty finding enough members to meet the 100-pound
minimum, contact us.
Can I buy blankets without being a member?
Blankets are initially sold to 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?
At this time, the minimum number of blankets a member is able to receive is based on the
total number of blankets available and the total amount of usable fiber that member
donated in that year. Once all the primary orders are filled, members can buy additional
blankets, as they are 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. However, if you miss two
consecutive years your membership will be terminated. 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. However, we are currently
involved in negotiating with an exclusive retailer for the future sale of blankets.
OK, I want to join! What do I do now?
Read and complete the Membership Agreement. Then contact us at
AlpacaBlanketProject@yahoo.com. We will need your name, farm name, address,
phone number, email address, and website URL, if you have one. And let us know if you
would like a link on our website. We will assign you a farm number and guide you from
there.
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!
