HAPPY NATIONAL ALPACA FARM DAY!

I hope all of you are as excited as I am about National Alpaca Farm Day, a day that the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association marketing committee has designed with a comprehensive plan to increase awareness of alpacas. Alpacas are not only cute but there are many benefits to alpaca ownership:

• Alpaca breeding is an alternative lifestyle with strong incomes
• Alpaca ownership creates a wide array of tax benefits
• Alpaca farming is a fulfilling lifestyle
• Alpaca ownership can include 2 alpacas to thousands!
• Alpacas provide a diversification in your financial portfolio
• Alpacas create a commodity that is both rare and in demand worldwide
• Alpacas are considered the “Aristocrat” of all farm animals
• Alpacas produce a luxury product that is in high demand. Textiles produced from fleece are known in fashion centers of New York, Paris, Milan and Tokyo
• Alpacas live a relatively long and trouble-free reproductive lifespan

Long Run Alpaca Farm is only 30 miles from Joe, Carrie can go to up to Georgetown to visit Hummers Homestead Alpacas, My Lady's Manor Maryland Alpaca Farm will welcome Kristen and Bern, Team Rocker can check out Park View Alpacas...everyone can go to this website and find out where the nearest farm is.
