  It has been said that Newsom's ham is part of a vanishing breed -- a family business, traditions of service, quality product, the old-fashioned way -- "a lost art" as writer Matt Kramer put it in Connoisseur magazine 1989. That is who we have been, who we are and who we expect to be. Newsom's aged ham has its origins in the new world with the Newsom family, which arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in the 1600s. The way that this ham is cured was recognized then as a treasure and passed along in a family will of the 1700s. It is from that William Newsom of Virginia that Col. Bill and his daughter, Nancy, crafted the traditions of Newsom's aged Kentucky country hams. Newsom's aging methods and traditions were evolving in a parallell place and time with our counterparts in Spain, France and Italy --- the regions of prosciutto, jambon, jamon, serrano.... As Newsom's has nurtured our craft and traditions -- there are among us the farmers who have nurtured the land and livestock, their heritage -- preserving their own vanishing breed and breeds. In this place and time, the ham curer -- the hammaker's daughter of Peter Kaminsky's Pig Perfect -- and heirloom rare breed pork producers have come together for this year's -- and it is our hope that it will be a long association -- free-range experience. A journey of centuries....a true Slow Food experience . . .
