Thanks for the heads up, it is now available here: http://www.neafp.com/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=22

As of today it looks like NEAFP is right in Hurricane Irene's path so we just wanted to make a quick note and let everyone know this could slow down our order fulfillment at the beginning of next week. The storm will be hitting us Sunday afternoon and extending through Monday, hopefully as a Tropical Storm or less but we are preparing for all possbilities. All orders placed by 10:30am Friday that meet their requirements will go out same day so if you have any time sensitive events coming up we encourage you to take advantage of this.

We hope all is well in your neck of the woods, if you and your alpaca's are in Irene's path we encourage you to check out these Farm Preparation guides:

We wish you and your farms the best!

We are happy to announce we will be speaking and running a fiber collection at the upcoming NEAOBA meeting in CT this Saturday, 8/13 from 1 to 4pm.
