A TASTE FROM ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME - We follow the traditional methods for curing hams that our family has used for generations. As it is aged with the seasonal changes in temperature, the once humble ham became what can only be called a Country Ham, with the addictive taste, aroma, and texture like no other.
AGED SALT & DRY CURED HAM - The best Country Ham harks back to the way food was preserved on the family farms of Appalachia before electricity and refrigeration. Methods handed from one generation to another curing hams naturally by rubbing them with salt, and sugar, and other spices creating that distinctive taste that can only be described as Country Ham.
SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY - Sharing of good food is our fashion way of showing we care. When families relocate, often they can't find the foods and tastes they remember and long for.
