  • Exploring the New York Slow Fashion Value Chain
    EXPLORING THE NEW YORK SLOW FASHION VALUE CHAIN: LOCAL ANIMALS, FIBERS, AND KNITWEAR A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Helen Xiomara Trejo August 2014 © HELEN XIOMARA TREJO 2014 ABSTRACT This study explores the prospective development of a Fibershed in the strong fiber community of New York. It draws inspiration from the Northern California Fibershed project. “Fibershed” is a reference to fiber farms, mills, and artisan studios that support regional clothing cultures and economies. The first part of this study explored the diversity of NY fiber farms, with a focus on current marketing strategies implemented by 67 fiber farmers. The second part of the study implemented fiber farmer’s marketing strategies into a consumer survey for locally produced wool, alpaca, and cashmere knitwear. Nine marketing conditions were developed that presented basic information, emphasized local production, and the individuality of the fiber animals. Findings from 250 NY women suggested that the marketing strategies do not influence product evaluation. However, other variables including product personality, user image congruence, and consumer ethnocentricity positively influenced product evaluation. Findings from the consumer survey highlight the difficulty marketing fiber products online, especially among a consumer market that prefers to touch fiber products before purchasing. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Helen is a first generation Salvadoran-American. She was born in Los Angeles with her twin sister, Nidia, in 1990. Both grew up watching their mamita and mami sew clothes for them throughout their childhood. Her father’s creativity and expert skill in setting tile throughout many homes in Los Angeles contributed to Helen’s creativity.

    Meat & Fiber Goat Breeds Emma Hussey Coarsegold 4-H Emerald Star Project 1 Table of Contents Meat Goats Boer………………………...………………………………………………………4 Kiko………………………...………………………………………………………6 Myotonic………………………………...………………………………………….8 Spanish……………………………………….……………………………………10 Fiber Goats Angora….…………………………………………………………………………12 Pygora…………………….……………………………………………………….14 2 3 Boer Origin: South Africa ​ The development of the boer goat in the early 1900’s can be traced to the Dutch farmers in South Africa. “Boer” is a Dutch word which means farmer. With meat production setting the selection criteria, the Dutch farmers created the boer goat as a unique breed of livestock. The first full-blooded boer goats came to the United States in 1993. Since that time, a tremendous amount of interest in breeding boer goats has exploded in the United States. There is a breed association dedicated to this goat called “The American Boer Goat Association (ABGA).” Breed Characteristics: ● Boer goats are noted for being the largest of the meat goat breeds. They are fast growing, docile, and have high fertility rates. ● Compared to the other goat breeds, Boer does have been reported to have superior mothering skills. ● Boers are a hardy breed which can adopt themselves to most weather and climate conditions. ● They are typically white bodied with a brown head, but no preference is given to hair color (per current ABGA breed standards). Some may be completely white or brown. ● They possess long pendulous ears. ● A mature Boer buck can weigh between 200-340 pounds while females can range from 190-230 pounds. 4 5 Kiko Origin: New Zealand ​ The “Kiko” is a Maori word which means flesh or meat. The breed was developed by Garrick and Anne Batten of Nelson in the northern South island in the 1980’s.
