New to The Tribe in general and this tribe in particular, I thought it might be wise to spread the good word about Armida. Mostly, the word is, "We're here!" We've got critters for sale, fifty pounds of fiber I'd love to move (except for our last black fleece, out of which a sweater WILL be, I promise), and various means of making the fiber friendly to people who don't card, spin, or knit.

I suppose, mostly, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about means of marketing this fiber so I can have a little of my basement back. I'd also love to sell some of the critters on the list, but my main concern is the fiber, today. It's all lovely stuff, but, as mentioned, there is rather a lot of it. Unfortunately, there are no mills in the area that will handle it (or at least none without absurd notions about paying us, or making us buy back our own stuff to sell off our own farm, which isn't feasible for a number of reasons.)

In case anyone is curious, we're on Alpaca Nation (not that it's helping the fiber sales) as Armida Alpacas, a farm in southern Vermont. www.alpacanation.com/armidaalpacas.asp This is more eloquent than I'm being at the moment, so.
