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!

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!

This weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the MAPACA Fleece Show & Sensational Educational Seminar!
It was an amazing few days filled with gorgeous fleece, judging demonstrations, veterinary education, alpaca history, fascinating presentations, and so much more! There is always something new to learn in the alpaca world, and we are incredibly grateful to have been able to host such an incredible event.
But one of our favorite parts? Connecting with our fellow alpaca people! There’s nothing quite like gathering with the people who share our passion, our crazy alpaca stories, and our love for these amazing animals.
And a very special, heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible organizers who worked tirelessly to make these events happen. Your dedication, time, and passion are what make opportunities like this possible. We truly wouldn’t be able to learn, grow, and play without you! 🦙🫶🏼
To everyone who joined us—thank you for making it such a memorable weekend!
