2020 Country Ham Project
The country ham has been a food tradition in
Kentucky and throughout the southeast for hundreds
of years. The Kentucky 4-H Country Ham project
continues the tradition of the country ham. Your
4-Her will cure two hams of their own, with the
opportunity to sell one, both, or neither of the hams
during our annual livestock sale. Participants learn
patience, responsibility, perseverance, and more
through this project.
The project begins in the cold winter months
beginning in January and ends in August at the
Kentucky State Fair, where the hams are judged by
members of the Kentucky Country Ham Producers
and the students present a 3 to 5 minute speech on the
project in front of two judges. Throughout the project
the 4-Hers learn about food production and how the
country ham fits into Kentucky’s food heritage.
For more information or to register, please contact
Kevin Lindsay or Madalyn Wells at
kevin.lindsay@uky.edu or madalyn.wells@uky.edu.
The cost to register is $60.00 per child. Each child will
receive two hams.
