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!

As longtime @bravotv fans, we were absolutely tickled when the producer of Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition reached out about filming right here on our farm!
We were thrilled to welcome @wendyosefo lovely family, along with @alethea_shapiro , a fellow animal lover, to meet our sweet alpacas — on shearing day, no less!
The group enjoyed one of our signature luxury picnics, complete with a stunning charcuterie spread by our friends @simplysarahcharcuterie , surrounded by our charming junior boys — Dean Baldwin, Sancho, Skywalker, and their freshly shorn friends.
We loved seeing Alethea share her passion for animals (and a few crochet tips!) with Dr. Wendy Osefo’s daughter, Kamrynn, using yarn from our shoppe.
It was such a joy hosting the Osefo family and Alethea for this special episode, and we’re beyond grateful to have been part of such a heartwarming and fun Bravo moment! 💕🎥
