Purple Ribbons
Purple Ribbon Homestead raises registered LaMancha dairy goats in Kents Store, Virginia, a rural community in central Virginia roughly an hour west of Richmond. Ashley Ryan runs the operation as a working homestead with a deliberately small LaMancha breeding program, keeping a maximum of two does in order to prioritize genetics over volume.
That intentional restraint shaped the foundation of the herd from the start. Ryan sourced her first LaMancha from Gillispie's County Line Farm, selecting a doe with strong ADGA lineage, and has focused on performance-proven, show-quality animals since. Breeding stock leaves the homestead with registration paperwork, tattoos, and vaccines already in place, and animals are raised on a structured feed program that includes a dairy goat ration, free-choice orchardgrass and alfalfa mix, and targeted mineral supplementation.
Beyond the LaMancha herd, the homestead also raises Nigerian dwarf dairy goats, Velveteen Lop rabbits, and poultry. Families looking for LaMancha goats for sale in Virginia will find a program where herd size is kept small by design and genetics are chosen with clear production and show goals in mind. The purple in the homestead's name carries meaning as well — it honors Ryan's grandmother and supports Alzheimer's awareness as a thread woven through everything the operation does.
