How was your National Alpaca Farm Day?

National Alpaca Farm Day is coming this weekend! We're very curious about how it will go both for our own farm and nationally.

It's been a pretty positive development in the national alpaca community as far as I can see, though I'm sure someone somewhere will fine reasons to not like it :(

How was YOUR National Alpaca Farm Day event? If you used products (ours and/or others) did they help you promote the animals? We've often found the products are a GREAT conversation piece as they show directly "what alpacas do for a living". It's also a positive way to earn some farm income.

Feel free to post your comments on your experiences with National Alpaca Farm Day. Pictures would be GREAT if you have em! Post as comments here, email me or join the new

An alpaca fan club?

This past weekend we held an event on our farm (yes, we of course raise alpacas too!). The topics of discussion among breeders frequently focused on the promotion of alpaca clothing. We all agreed on the superior qualities of alpaca fiber to other fibers. We all wear and love alpaca clothing.

Yet we all acknowledged that alpaca is not as promoted as fibers such as cashmere or merino. So last night all this "gelled" into the idea of an "Alpaca Fan Club". The club would be for fans of alpaca clothing with the goal of promoting alpaca as a clothing alternative to the world.

Most people who try alpaca for the first time are amazed at the comfortable warmth, softness and general feeling elegance it brings. People who try our Extreme Alpaca Socks are often just plain EXCITED at the difference alpaca brings. These "converts" are perfect to help spread the word about this amazing fiber.

So we haven't worked out the details yet but you should expect that PurelyAlpaca.com will launch an alpaca fan club community in the near future. We're thinking of sponsoring the group with free membership perks, promotional material and of course free gifts to our most prolific alpaca enthusiasts :)

Stay tuned... better yet, share your ideas as to what you think might make for a fun promotional alpaca fan club!
