Gypsy Wind Farms

Naturally-raised Lamb, Pork and Chicken. SC Certified Roadside Market on site. Gypsy Wind Farms' focus is raising a rare heritage breed of hair sheep called Barbados Blackbelly. Barbados Blackbelly are a smaller breed and it takes longer for them to grow to freezer-lamb weight, but having no wool, and thus no lanolin to taint the flavor of the meat, the exceptionally mild-flavored, lean meat never tastes "muttony". Because of their natural parasite and disease resistance, our sheep can be raised without chemicals, antibiotics and hormones. Our pastures are pesticide/herbicide free; our sheep are grass/hay fed supplemented with all-natural grain-based feeds and minerals. As members of the BBSAI and The Livestock Conservancy (formerly American Livestock Breeds Conservancy), Gypsy Wind Farms is dedicated to preserving and promoting heritage breeds. Right now, there are fewer than 2000 Barbados Blackbelly registered in the US and very few breeders. Along with supplying freezer lamb and mutton, we have registered breeding stock available and are more than happy to assist with putting together starter flocks for others interested in conserving the genetic pool of the breed. Gypsy Wind Farms is proud to also offer a rare Hungarian pig breed that is known for its strikingly long hair and marbled meat. Mangalitsa pork is like no other. It is a superb juicy meat with phenomenal flavor. Mangalitsa pigs actually have more unsaturated fat (versus high levels of saturated fat) than conventionally bred "meat-type" pigs. Chefs rave about the meat and lard's versatility; the lard can be whipped, and chefs don't need to dress up the meat's flavor with excess salt or spices. When cured, Mangalitsa meat makes unsurpassed hams, charcuterie, and salamis, due to the high monounsaturated fat content. Other offerings include rare heritage breeds Silver Gray Dorking chickens; known for their exceptional flavor.
