Ham producer Nancy Newsom Mahaffey is an artisan — a traditionalist in a world that is coming to value the genuine article more and more. Nancy achieved a long-held wish of attending the Fancy Food Show in 2005, taking her ham to New York not in a booth exhibit, but as a featured part of a panel program about aged hams. Then in the fall, Nancy achieved another milestone as a speaker about artisan foods at the Epcot Center International Food & Wine Show at Disney World in Orlando. The topic, of course, her aged ham.
