When our country hams first went on sale back in 1954, it soon became evident that curing and selling country hams was to become a family tradition.
Truman Murphey, the founder of Clifty Farm, grew up down in the country around Paris, Tennessee. Truman remembered the day when every farmer cured his own hams.
Today, Truman’s grandson, Michael, is now overseeing the family business, replacing his father Dan, who passed away in 2016. Michael started working in the business as a teenager and is now president of Clifty Farm Country Meats. As a matter of fact, the whole Murphey family is deeply involved in carrying on the Clifty Farm family tradition.
About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to receive some Clifty Farm Country Meats Ham, and to come up with a recipe or two for the 2019 Blogger Recipe Contest.
