Rice's Country Hams specializes in
"True Tennessee Country Products" |
Our meats are cured the old fashion way, just like grandpa did many years ago.
Edward Rice Sr. started curing country hams over 60 years ago in his backyard smoke house. You can still purchase a ham that has been cured with "Mother Nature, Father Time and Years of Experience" from the country store that has been in the family since 1910. Ed Rice Jr. took over for his father in 1981. Over the past several years our ham has been featured on the Martha Stewart Show.
"Mother Nature and Father Time, plus years of experience", are credited for the numerous ribbons awarded to Rice's Country Hams. Ribbons and winning are synonymous with Mt. Juliet's Rice family who have been bringing home trophies and ribbons from country and state fairs for over 30 years. This past year was no exception. Mr. Rice took top honors at the COUNTY and STATE FAIR.
Stepping inside the wooden building built in 1886 is like stepping back in time. The aroma of country ham fills the air. The wooden floors squeak beneath your step while memorabilia along the walls tell the story of the family business. Visitors now purchase country ham, sausage, bacon, jams and jellies during the fall months of the year. But, in times past, this building served as a country store for the whole community.
