Mulberry Alpacas want to remind everyone that National Alpaca Farm Day September 27-28, 2008. The 2008 AOBA marketing committee has designed a good plan to increase awareness of alpacas.
AOBA member participation is critical to making these days a success. The goal is for the public to easily find an alpaca farm or ranch in their area to visit on Sept 27th or 28th. This will give all alpaca farmers an opportunity to share their passion for alpacas and meet new people interested in learning about breeding livestock.

Remember however if you are an alpaca farmer (and AOBA member) you need to visit the AOBA web site and pay up if you want to be on the official AOBA Alpaca Farm Day website.

Now of course to participate in National Alpaca Farm Days you do not need to register for the special web site and pay over your hard earned money in fact you don't even have to be a member of AOBA....but you will have to undertake some marketing effort of your own or very few people will be coming to visit.

We put in quite a bit of effort last year and basically operated a petting zoo for two days so I think we will be giving it a miss this year. As always make sure that your alpaca marketing decisions are conscious decisions and assume nothing.
