BROKERING CO-OP
We have always been dedicated to ensuring the success of other farms with lower number
of alpacas as well as encouraging the start-up of other small breeders. With more than
12 years of involvement in the alpaca industry, we realize the importance of networking
and collaborating among smaller breeders. We took the bull by the horns and formed a
brokering cooperative with several of the finest, most reputable small farms in the Northeast.
What does this mean??? Well, each of these farms have somewhere between 2 and 5 alpacas
they wish to market and sell in a given year. All of these alpacas are combined on one
sales list and can be sold individually or in package deals with any other alpaca on the
sales list. We are paid a commission from the seller at the time of the sale…THERE IS
NO FEE FOR THE BUYER! Also, the price of the alpaca is not raised in order to account
for the commission. The price is the same if you went directly to the owner themselves.
So…why purchase from the co-op??? Here are just a few reasons.
- We have a wide variety of alpacas to offer- 25+ alpacas for sale
from all around the Northeast located at one farm.
- All farms in the co-op own only ARI registered alpacas, offer generous financing terms,
use only AOBA sales contracts, and have a long history of customer satisfaction.
- We can accommodate any new breeder's plan and goal for their breeding program.
- We have a sincere interest in the success of our customers. Your success is our success!
- We assure pre- and -post purchase support and always have the time to answer questions.
- We ensure the success of our customers by assisting them in showing and marketing their alpacas.
- Our customers' success and happiness ensures our reputation in the industry.
- All customers are able to join the co-op themselves when the time comes for them to sell alpacas.
You don't have to be big to succeed in the alpaca industry-let us show you how!

"…I approached the Ferrara's about purchasing 3 female alpacas in May. By July, we had
our starting herd! As first-time buyers, their experienced assessment of these animals
was invaluable. What could have been a prolonged process fraught with indecision, and
possible ending with a poor choice of breeding stock, was easy and successful. Our
venture into the world of alpacas has gotten off on the right foot thanks in large part
to Melissa and Lou!…"

Alpacas for the past year. They have been a valuable source of expertise and learning

Lou & Melissa and they advised me wisely regarding those animals. My recommendation
of them regarding the services they might provide is given without hesitation…"
