Networking Sheep and Goat Producers: Strength in Numbers

The purpose of this project was to establish a goat, sheep, and fiber producer’s network in this region for education and support. We developed a directory of producers from gathered and compiled information, which is now made available on a web-site (argoatsheepfiber.com). We participated in numerous events dealing with the producers and public to inform, increase awareness about goat, sheep, and fiber products, and introduce the farmers to potential customers. All in all, we had a wonderful time, met a lot of interesting people, and were able to share information that was beneficial to all that participated. This will be an on- going project. We thank SARE for the financial assistance that allowed us to work on this project
