The Declaration of the disUnited Ham Eaters of the United States
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all People are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Prosciutto of Happiness. That to secure these rights, ham makers are instituted among People, deriving their just respect from the tastes of the eaters--that whenever any ham maker becomes less preferred by the eaters, it is the right of the eaters to choose another, and to prefer another, basing their decision on what they like, not a name or a tradition. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that prudence is not a factor for ham eaters, deliciousness is.
It is the right, the duty, the honor of the ham makers to expose new, real, local sources of ham deliciousness, made from the exceptional wholesomeness and bounty of our Homeland. Such is now the duty of these ham eaters--to move beyond the traditional sources of ham deliciousness, to embrace independent American artisanal sources, and to declare their own Ham Independence! To this end, we pledge our appetites, our food budgets, and our enduring commitment to deliciousness...

The path forward feels long and my energy is low but the goal of one hundred signatures remains within reach. Please send this link out to anyone who appreciates real ham because we need those remaining names to show we are serious.

Once again, we are all being asked to fight for our independence from our European forefathers. First it was tea... now it is ham!!!!
Only Iowa Handcrafted ham touches the lips of my family and graces our table. Prosciutto Americano, is currently in our cooler. Thank you for your dedication to providing us with the best ham available IN AMERICA!!!!! Happy Ham Independence!!!!!!
Hey Herb, We'll be snacking away this fourth of July as proud Americans of Italian decent. Dig "The Oak" and its fine products, particularly paired up with Caprese salad, Basil from the garden, some Cali Zin or Brunello from our ancestral home in Tuscany. Keep up the good work. All the Best this 4th, Famiglia Magnotto
What I find to be self evident is that all hams are not created equal and you are the winners!
Taste La Quercia and you think you're someplace in the Italian countryside. Ann Sweet

I just think this is wonderful. I raise only pure Tamworth her at Moore Natural Ranch. I know it is too late. But this is still fabulous.
