We're a working goat farm located halfway between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. The Boer and Kiko breeds are the foundation of our herd. Our goal is maximizing the average daily weight gain of our goats kids naturally, with no creep feeding nor unnecessary supplements. Aggressive culling of our herd is a key to our success relying on the genetic foundation of the animal, rather than medications and artificial supplements.

During the growing season our beef and sheep are rotated to fresh paddocks daily. The laying hens are moved every other day and are free to roam, scratch and peck. The pastured broilers are raised May through October in portable huts that are also moved daily to fresh, clean pasture.  However, because of our small size, supplies may be limited. The Sharon Rose Farm is located just five miles off I-85 and eight miles off I-26 in the Upstate of South Carolina so we're easy to find.

Windy Hill Farm

329 Hamby Street
Pelzer, SC 29669

Judy Langley
864 430 2265

Windy Hill Farm is located in the Piedmont Region of South Carolina. Here on the farm, we grow grass-fed Black Angus, meat goats and show quality, breeding goats. Along side the pastures you will find small plots of heritage vegetables, cut flowers, blueberries, and various plants and shrubs for sale.

Guineas, chickens and turkeys are grown here too. Guineas are quite interesting, and are loads of fun to watch. They become quite nosey and are very vocal when something or someone has entered... we refer to our flock as the "Windy Hill Posse". They feed on insects and seeds. Many farmers claim they eliminate ticks too. I must confess, we haven't seen a tick since they arrived and our fireant population has dwindled by 75%.
