LADY EDISON PRE SLICED COUNTRY HAM (3 OZ)

Description

Sam Suchoff of Lady Edison Pork does his part to help save North Carolina family hog farms. North Carolina is the second largest hog producing state, dominated by factory commodity pork. Independent family farms are disappearing at an alarming rate and Sam has been there to help. Lady Edison purchases whole heritage hogs weekly from an Animal Welfare Approved cooperative called the NC Natural Hog Growers Association headed by Jeremiah Jones. This consistent usage at fair prices helps the 13 families in the cooperative raise heritage hogs in a humane manner while maintaining their family farms. The curing cuts are turned into traditional country hams and charcuterie while Sam sells the raw pork to local Carolina restaurants including his own, “The Pig” in Chapel Hill. Supporting Lady Edison means a lot more than buying some of the best cured meat in the country. It also preserves the tradition of family farms, heritage pork, and the country hams of North Carolina.
