Survey for NYS Fiber Farmers for Future Research and Programming
Attention NYS Fiber Farmers:
Please take a moment to fill out this important industry survey for all those raising fiber animals in New York!
This short survey is for anyone raising sheep, alpacas, goats, or other fiber animals in New York State. Your input will help shape future efforts to make fiber farming more sustainable, visible, and profitable.
We will share aggregated results with the broader community to help build a clearer picture of fiber production in New York. Individual responses will remain confidential.
***As a thank you, participants who complete the survey will receive a free fiber test from NYFIC. All participants will also be entered to win a $200 Visa Gift card. Click here to complete the survey***
Please submit one questionnaire per farm. Please feel free to share this information with your fellow New York State Fiber Farmers. Everyone's input will be very valuable!
This fiber farmer questionnaire is presented by the New York Fashion Innovation Center, Cornell Pro-Livestock, and the Hudson Valley Textile Project.
