Steeped in tradition, the Commonwealth of Kentucky has cultivated an enviable heritage that includes smooth, aged bourbons, spirited thoroughbreds, top-ranked college basketball and the finest cured, smoked and aged country ham.
Kentucky’s-own Harper’s Country Hams’ recent performance at the 2015 National Country Ham Association’s 23rd annual convention in Raleigh, North Carolina was unmatched among a group of elite competitors, earning Harper’s the “Grand Champion” position for both awarded categories-- smoked and unsmoked hams. The National Country Ham Association (NCHA), an affiliate of the American Association of Meat Processors, was organized in 1992 to represent the interest of country ham producers nationwide.
