The New Jersey Alpaca Community (NJAC) had its beginnings in the fall of 2001 as a group of New Jersey alpaca breeders planned their first public educational event - Discover Alpacas. As the group planned for its 4th annual Discover Alpacas event the decision was made to become an official organization and in the fall of 2005 NJAC was incorporated as a 501(c)5 organization.
NJAC has a synergistic three-part mission statement:
Breeding Mission: To breed and promote the finest quality alpacas;
Educational Mission: To educate our members about (1) sound husbandry practices and current veterinary knowledge for optimal care of our alpacas and (2) alpaca fiber and alpaca fiber end products;
Marketing Mission: To promote the growth of the alpaca industry in New Jersey by increasing public awareness of alpacas, alpaca fiber and fiber end products.
NJAC is presently in the process of becoming an AOBA affiliate.
