The March 2019 NEAFP Note is here!
03/13/2019
Spring, is that you?
“Spring is when you feel like whistling, even with a shoe full of slush.”
— Doug Larson
Alpaca Farms are coming off their best Winter sales season ever, and with the help of some cold wind, ice, and snow, that growth has continued through the new year. Rumors of 50 degree days on the horizon, along with a little taste of sun and all the mud an alpaca farmer could want, mean that it's (almost) time to hang up that puffy winter coat for the morning barn chores.
With the promise of Spring just around the corner and shearing season fast approaching, we wanted to talk about ways to continue this forward sales momentum through the warmer months. Over 50% of alpaca farm's revenue from product sales come in the last 6 weeks of the year, so we could always use more ways and products to increase that cash flow in the leaner warmer months.
Although alpaca is synonymous with warmth and selling a Snowflake PomPom Hat in July is almost impossible, alpaca farms aren't without their options.
