Barbie Tilton of Someday Farm and I recently did an interview with Fox News regarding the growth of the U.S. alpaca fiber industry. They also expressed interest in running more stories about U.S. Alpaca, based on the response to this news clip. We are asking for your help in spreading this news story to your friends, family, and industry friends through your Facebook, Twitter, and Blog feeds.

Fox and Google will be watching the activity surrounding this video to determine if they should be running more stories like this. My hope is that 1, 2 (or 100) local news stations around the country pick up on this trend and report on it in their local markets. When your farm is contacted, I ask that you make two points in the interview:
1. Alpaca is a specialty product unlike wool or cotton commodities.
2. Alpaca products are available through your local farm and community events.
By raising the tide, all boats float a little higher.
Thank you very much and Happy Holidays,
