With the MAPACA Jubilee Alpaca Show coming up in one week (April 23rd to 26th) we wanted to remind everyone who plans on attending that we will be there as a Vendor and Running a Fiber Collection. This is a wonderful way to get that fiber out of your barns and let us haul it back to the mill for you, saving a tremendous amount of Shipping and Handling.

How to Participate in a Fiber Collection

First things first, if you do not already have a Fiber Bank with us, please sign up for one now - Click Here. An account will be created and you will receive your login and password shortly.

Once you are logged in to your Fiber Bank, Create a Deposit Slip for the fiber you plan on bringing just as if you were going to ship it.

Please package clean fiber (not washed, just vegetable matter removed) into a plastic bag with your deposit slips placed inside each bag. If you have multiple grades and colors bagged separately, put all of the bags in one large bag all together to make it easier to identify each farms fiber submission.

If you plan on bringing in more than 50 pounds of Fiber, please let us know ahead of time so we can guarantee we have the trailer room for all fiber submissions.

We look forward to seeing you all next weekend, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
