May I buy America's Alpaca products if I am not a member?
Yes. Anyone may purchase America's Alpaca products through the retail section of this website. Retailers interested in establishing a commercial wholesale account may do so by contacting Mendy Howell at 877-859-0172 and requesting a commercial wholesale account application.
America's Alpaca™ is the brand name chosen by the AFCNA Board of Directors circa 1999. The name is virtually synonomous with the AFCNA Purchasing Division. The brand is applied to private label goods acquired by the AFCNA Purchasing Division, and to the Co-op's wholesale/retail marketing. Perhaps the most visible example of America's Alpaca™ is AFCNA's E-Store www.AmericasAlpaca.com.
The AFCNA Purchasing Division operates at both the wholesale and retail levels. AFCNA members can always purchase from America's Alpaca at significantly reductions off the retail price. Non-members can purchase at retail prices. Both members and non-members can establish wholesale accounts. Net profits of the Purchasing Division may be returned to members (but not non-members) in proportion to their purchases from the Co-op.
