Harper Country Hams | Kentucky Life | KET

Dave Shuffett travels to Harper's Country Hams in Clinton to get a lesson from Brian Harper on the art and science of creating what the Harpers call "hamtastic" flavor.

Each ham is hand-rubbed with salt and sugar and hickory smoked. Founded by Brian’s grandfather Curtis Harper in the mid-1950s, Harper's Country Hams produces more than 2.5 million pounds of ham each year for stores across the country.

In 2013, the Harpers' Kentucky State Fair Grand Champion ham sold at a charity auction for $350,000, and their hams have been awarded first place by America’s Test Kitchen and the National Country Ham Association.
