Maryland's Premier Alpaca Ranch
NEW Easter Event!
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!
👀☕ You know that moment when your sibling comes RUNNING over like…
“Wait till I tell you what just happened…” 😏
Yeah… that’s the energy in the pasture today 😂
In honor of National Siblings Day, Vinny is clearly keeping the sibling tradition alive… spilling ALL the tea and making sure everyone knows about it 🦙💬
🔊 Volume UP for Vinny’s Gossip — because no one shares the drama quite like a sibling 🤭
Tag your sibling (or your honorary one!) who NEVER keeps a secret ⬇️

🚨 Cute Toofs Alert! 🦙😁
Did you know alpacas only have bottom teeth in the front of their mouth and a dental pad on top? That unique setup makes them super gentle grazers. Their teeth keep growing too, so they need regular trims to stay healthy.
Want to learn more Alfactas? Come experience them in person!
Book a Premier Alpaca Experience — a 45-minute guided tour where you`ll learn tons of fun Alfactas while roaming through pastures and meeting over 100 alpacas.
After the tour, stick around to enjoy extra time hanging out with the alpacas, relax with a Paca Picnic, and soak up all the fluffy vibes. 🧺🦙
