Head on over to June's NEAFP Note to watch part of the NEAFP team take a day from the mill and shear at Shelley & Chris's alpaca farm.

View June's NEAFP Note!

Also covered in this Month's newsletter: Shearing on the Farm, Vermont Regional Fiber Collection Dates are Fast Approaching, Upcoming Alpaca Shows, NEAFP's 4th of July Summer Break, and more news from around our mill!

NEAFP's office & mill will be closed for summer break.

We will be closed Friday July 3rd and re-open Monday July 13th.

This period will give us a chance to spend some quality time with family & friends and get ready to ramp up for another busy Fall and Winter season.

During this period we will not be processing & shipping orders so please plan accordingly for upcoming events. All orders & support will be answered in the order they were submitted starting July 13th.

We hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing, and safe 4th of July!

In the mean time be sure to check out our NEAFP Note archive & watch our latest NEAFP team shearing video on YouTube!

Today we are launching our first Alpaca Farm Survey focused on Branding & Marketing and would greatly appreciate it if everyone could take a moment to fill that out. It's only 17 questions and should take 3 to 4 minutes to complete.

Alpaca farms are on the ground level, educating their communities on alpaca and the products they produce & we're looking for your vital input to help guide future branding & marketing decisions.

We received 2+ feet of snow Monday night through Wednesday morning but are happy to report we are back open today 1/29/2015. We will be working through the orders that built up over the last few days and will begin shipping again today.

All of New England and much of New York are still under snow so there may be some shipping delays due to the storm.

Blizzard of '78

Thank you all for another record breaking year in fiber coming in and U.S. alpaca products going out to farms across the country. The year over year growth you're experiencing on the individual level is reverberating throughout the rest of the industry. We are very grateful for your support and look forward to growing with you in the years to come.

Happy Holidays,

Chris and Shelley Riley
& the entire NEAFP Team!

Survival - Large back on website Our first batch of Survival Socks - Size Large arrived yesterday and are in the process of being finished and labeled now. They are back on the website and can be ordered.

Socks on back order will begin shipping out this afternoon (12/17) in the order they were placed.

New orders placed today will begin shipping out Thursday, 12/18 in chronological order.

There is a very high demand for these socks and we will be working as fast as humanly possible to get them on their way to you. Please keep this in mind while placing your orders. As our initial shipment is limited, we may reduce the amount ordered for the next couple of days to ensure we can get these socks in as many farm's hands as possible. There are several more pallets on their way to us and our inventory will be back to normal by the beginning of next week.

Thank you very much and Happy Holidays!

Our sale has ended. Thank you!
