Country Ham A Staple On Southern Tables

People are paying more attention to the authenticity of the food products they buy. Products are touted as "the real thing" and "100 percent natural." Major food companies are using all kinds of themes to snare our attention and our food dollars.

When it comes to pork, you'll find nothing more uniquely artisan than a perfectly cured country ham. Buying this particular meat is a lot like purchasing a piece of fine art — a copy just won't do! With every bite, you can taste the inspiration, toil and charm of the artist who created this exceptional specialty ham.

Country ham is a Southern delicacy that has been a part of our breakfast, lunch and dinner tables for centuries.

It's perfect when crowds gather at your house or to turn an ordinary weekend into a special occasion.
