Cashmere Goat Association

Educational Booths at RhinebeckBooth

For many years, individual members of the CGA have provided educational displays on cashmere goats and cashmere fiber at the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. Cashmere goats are always on display as well in the Exotic Animal barn. In 2016, CGA began offering an additional educational booth within the vendor buildings at the festival, with products made from CGA's own cashmere goats for sale.

In October of 2023, visitors to the 2023 New York State Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck stopped in the Exotic Animal Barn to meet the goats and their owners and study some educational exhibits.   Visitors came to the CGA booth as well to see all of the glorious things that can be made from this fine natural fiber and to learn a bit about raising cashmere goats and working with the fiber.   Raw fiber, roving, yarn, pelts, and finished products, including jewelry, hats, and gloves were on display. 

CGA will be returning to the NYS Sheep & Wool Festival in 2024 on October 19th and 20th!

The opportunity to participate is available for US cashmere breeders/ growers only. Both CGA and non CGA  members are eligible to participate. The mission of the booth is to provide cashmere growers with the opportunity to sell cashmere or cashmere related goods while also educating  consumers to become aware of the availability of quality US cashmere.  

The participation fee is 15% for ALL participants.  DEADLINE for in person product submissions is October 18th .  All items for sale must be checked in with a booth representative by Friday, October 18th between 4:00-6:00 PM (Booth 20, Bldg 29).
