Heirloom Kurobuta Ham:
Breed originated when English farmers crossed their hogs with black pigs from Asia in the 18th century. the exceptional quality of this pork earned worldwide attention, and the authentic breed with heirloom pedigree got their Kurobuta nickname when the hogs came to Japan in the 19th century. Kurobuta means “black pig” in Japanese.
The heirloom Kurobuta for our black apple ham is gap certified and raised by small family farms in the Ozarks, Illinois, and Iowa.
Laird’s Applejack:
Applejack is America’s first and original native spirit, made on this continent by family farmers and barkeeps almost a century before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The Laird family have been making applejack since 1698. George Washington wrote to the family asking for their applejack recipe, and Abraham Lincoln served Laird’s applejack at his Illinois tavern.
