The very first thing to do when planning to start an alpaca farm is to educate yourself by reading and doing a lot of research. Knowing everything and anything about the alpaca and how to successfully manage and run an alpaca farm is key to what could be a very rewarding and fulfilling business.

Depending on your personal goals the fiber can be sold raw, cleaned and processed into roving, yarn or materials.
