Our Story

Black Barn Alpacas began with a shared desire to return to our farming roots. Yussy grew up with horses, while Travis grew up homesteading on a cattle ranch. Together, we dreamed of raising sustainable livestock and building a life connected to the land.

 

When we discovered alpacas, our curiosity quickly grew into a passion. We fell in love with their gentle nature, sustainable qualities, and exceptionally beautiful fiber. What began as a farm in Texas eventually brought us to Finksburg, Maryland, where our vision continues to grow.

 

Today, Black Barn Alpacas combines agriculture, education, and community through immersive agritourism experiences, on-site and off-site alpaca boutique shoppes, and a dedicated breeding program focused on producing exceptional gray and black alpacas.
