Country Ham for all ages

Planning Unit: Pendleton County CES
Major Program: Natural Resources
Plan of Work: Promoting Life skills
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Country hams in Pendleton County has always been for 4-H age youth in the county. This year the Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent and the 4-H Agent decided to team up and collaborate on how we can make this program benefit the youth and adults in the county. We offered the Country Ham project to cloverbuds, 4-H age youth, and Adults. Along with offering the program to all ages we also had a local pork producer that raises grass feed pork. We collaborated with the producer and provided us 8 hams for adults to purchase to cure. This was a great collaboration because we got to educate people on grass fed products and it also helps the producer get the products out that they offer out to the community. We also had two youth help with the adult’s class and give a demonstration of how to cure a country ham and the history of country ham.
Cloverbuds – 6
4-H Age – 19
Adults – 28
