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.

Black Barn Alpacas began in a small town outside of San Antonio, and while we’ve planted new roots here in Maryland, a piece of our heart will always belong to Texas.

The recent flooding in the Texas Hill Country has devastated communities just like the one where our story began—and our hearts are broken for those affected.

To support relief efforts, we’re offering Texas flag bracelets ($3) and Texas-themed pouches or crossbody bags ($10) in The Shoppe. 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a trusted local organization providing direct support to families and communities in need.

Stop by tomorrow (Friday 7/11) between 10am and 4pm to purchase in person, or give us a call and we’ll gladly reserve your items for pickup on a later date.

Want to do more? Donations of any amount are welcome.

We believe in standing by our neighbors—no matter how many miles away. Thank you for helping us send love, support, and real relief back home to Texas. 🤍

Trav Daddy reporting for dooty duty 💩

No job is too big… or too small… when it comes to farm life!

Here at Black Barn Alpacas, even the boss grabs a rake — and yes, that means scooping poop at sunrise. Travis is out there every morning on pasture patrol (note the perfect form and elite focus that only a GOAT could bring to an alpaca ranch 😅).

Keeping our fields clean isn’t just about curb appeal (though we do like a tidy pasture) — it’s essential for our alpacas’ health. Regular cleanup helps prevent parasites, keeps flies under control, and protects those precious paca toes from standing in soggy piles.

🧼 Plus, a cleaner field = a better experience for all our visitors!

So next time you’re here soaking in the views and petting the fluffballs, just remember who’s out there doing the dirty work… with Olympic-level finesse...
