Maryland's Premier Alpaca Ranch
Our Story
Maryland’s Black Barn Alpacas Ranch is owned by the animal-loving couple Travis and Yussy McManus. Travis was raised on a cattle ranch, and Yussy grew up riding horses—cementing their love of farm life from a young age. The couple lives on the ranch and looks forward to greeting the alpaca herd every morning with nose boops (and an extra handful or two of food).
Travis manages the farm team, and Yussy leads the Y Interiors design team, dreaming up home goods made with genuine alpaca fleece. Together, they intend to expand Black Barn Alpacas, delivering well-bred animals, quality fleece products, and unforgettable experiences. Take it from the experts; there is nothing more rewarding than being able to snuggle up to an alpaca every day!
Alpaca Breeding Program
At Black Barn Alpacas, we are creating a premier alpaca breeding program focused on producing show-quality or “typey” black and gray alpacas through sustainable and caring farming practices. By way of strategic, sustainable, and compassionate breeding, we aim to produce fine-quality fleece, champion alpacas, and a happy herd.
The Shoppe
Shop Locally Made Alpaca Fleece Clothing and Home Goods
We are a real working alpaca ranch, producing some of the finest quality fleece around. After we shear our fuzzy alpaca friends, we turn fleece harvests into one-of-a-kind apparel, home goods, and accessories. Shop our collection of alpaca fleece products and some of our favorite Texas finds. There’s nothing as soft and durable as alpaca fleece!

SHEARING ‘26 IS A WRAP! 🦙✂️
Around here, shearing isn’t just routine care—it’s our Super Bowl. Days are spent carefully evaluating fleece on the animals and again once the blankets are off, helping us make thoughtful decisions to keep improving our breeding program and genetics year after year.
This season also brought an incredible harvest—nearly 1,000 pounds of beautiful fleece! Each fiber is sorted with purpose and transformed into products we’re proud to share in our shoppes.
It truly takes a village to keep this process running smoothly, and we’re so grateful for every helping hand that made this year a success. Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of our labor… and our adorable, freshly shorn “naked” babies 🫶🏼
