A FARM EMERGENCY WITH A YOUNG ALPACA THAT HAD AN EXTREMELY RARE & UNHEARD-OF STROKE PUT ME A WEE BIT BEHIND SCHEDULE FOR THE CRAZY GOLDEN EGG'CAPADE, BUT WE'RE ON TRACK WITH LOTS OF GOLDEN EGGS & BASKETS TO FIND! Sale continues through May 15th!
Close-Knit Alpacas was formed primarily with the intent that the business provide supplemental income to help support the 501-c-3 non-profit known as The Kiva Connection (www.kivaconnection.com dedicated to "Nature, Art and a Healthier You"). This remains the focus to this day.
Close-Knit's mission is to develop an educational, earth friendly farm and learning center where college students may serve their internships for credit and those new alpaca enthusiasts and owners wanting to learn, hands-on, what they need to know to operate their own alpaca farm, can stay and work from sun up 'til sun down with the Close-Knit Alpacas (ask about the "Intern-to-Learn" program!).
Close-Knit's mission also includes raising quality alpacas & offering fiber, yarns and other products for sale via a small, casual farm store & a user friendly website.
Close-Knit Alpacas offers a unique service to both sellers and buyers of alpacas via sales opportunities, such as "Make an Offer Monday!" Please know you can submit YOUR best offer for price and terms for ANY animal on the Close-Knit sales list on "Make an Offer Monday!" First best offer in, wins! For the complete Sales List with the ever-changing listings for MOM, visit www.closeknitalpacas.com/alpacas/salesservices.html
You will also notice that no prices are listed on some of the Close-Knit Alpacas posted for sale. This gives you the greatest flexibility of all! It also helps to drive home the fact that you can let me, Wren, know which alpacas are of interest to you and then I will contact the alpaca owner regarding an offer and price that will work for you! The seller may say "Sure!" or they may need to negotiate a little with you via me (Wren). In either case, everything possible will be done to get you the alpaca you want at the price you can and want to pay. Your offer is anonymous until it becomes an accepted one, too, ensuring privacy.
Rolling into the new era of change, Close-Knit is proud to introduce "The One Stop Close-Knit Shop!" Check it out! CREATE YOUR OWN ONE STOP CLOSE-KNIT SHOP with a combination of alpacas, products and services!
In 2008 C-K also introduced "The Crazy Golden Egg 'capade!" held the first day of Spring thru April every year. Find and secure golden, C-K branded eggs and C-K golden baskets with your accepted offer and win big-time!
Attractive packages of alpacas are presented through C-K and available for sale. The alpacas offered are primarily from several different farms and from a wide variety of lineages. Close-Knit offers these alpacas at incredible "package" prices, too, in order to save buyers a great deal of money and provide a more diverse mix of genetics for breeding programs.
