Ham I Am!

Just in time for all of your entertaining!!!! And it is absolutely no work! My friend and her daughters own Ham I Am! Ham I Am! has been sold by Neiman Marcus, Harry and David, and many other gourmet shops around the country. Their hams and bacon have been voted the best in the country by Cooks Illustrated, and they are also featured in Everyday with Rachael Ray, Gourmet Magazine, Bon Appetite, Food and Wine, The New York Times, and many other national publications.

Sharon is a self made entrepreneur. Here is her story........

"Sharon Meehan’s path was being laid long before our story
begins, her grandparents owned bakeries in New England, and
nightly dinners consisted of her mother’s daily creations from
Gourmet Magazine. Her first job, at the age of 14, was for a
specialty food company that did yacht provisioning in Ft
Lauderdale, FL, eventually climbing the ladder and becoming a
buyer.

In 1986, after moving to Texas with her husband, she needed
money to supplement her four young children’s Christmas and
she remembered the fabulous cracked-pepper-encrusted, no water-
added hickory smoked ham she’d had while she visited
friends in Arkansas. She began bringing small loads of hams back
to Texas in the family’s Volkswagen Rabbit to sell to neighbors
and at local school bazaars. The inventory was financed by a local
banker on a signature loan after Meehan brought in her string of
pearls as collateral. The bank president, normally expecting a car title or a home loan as collateral, saw how earnest she was and decided to give her a chance. Meehan knew that failure wasn’t an option, if she didn’t sell the hams she wouldn’t have any way to pay back the loan, and would be sitting on a lot of meat. Neighbors stored the hams in their refrigerators for her as she went out and delivered each one personally to her new customers.

Soon she started brewing up batches of a heavenly sauce she named Hogwash, crafted especially for ham, in her kitchen. The house was filled with aromas of horseradish and brown sugar as her children, husband, neighbors, and anyone willing to lend a hand, helped jar and label the sauce. The sauce flew out the doors and onto holiday tables quicker than she could produce it. The first Christmas proved to be a huge success, but she never wanted to do it again. She recalls, “My house would spring into business the minute the kids left for school, and then it would be back together before dinner. I’d have to vacuum up all those Styrofoam peanuts. It was crazy.” Her customers wouldn’t let her quit,they had found something they couldn’t live without.

Over the years the company has moved out of the home office and expanded to ship all over the country, and has added wholesale customers like Neiman Marcus, Dean and Deluca, and Harry and David.

Today, Sharon’s heart and soul are still very much a part of the business, but her eldest daughter, Meghan Meehan, carries on the tradition of bring delectable food to tables across the country."


The hams come either bone in or boneless. They can be peppered ( I recommend this one!) or not. And don't forget a jar of Hogwash to go with!!!! We also have a Morning Glory Breakfast that includes a decadent Cinnamon Walnut Coffee cake, Peppered bacon, and a Smoked Bacon. Ham I Am! has expanded the tradition to include Hickory Smoked Turkeys, Quail, and other tempting appetizers.
