- When the sap starts risin' it's time to get our country hams hung up to start the aging process. Our particular process has been passed down for at least 100 years in our family, if you are interested in learning how, please email us at hello@thelawsonfarm.com! We are happy to help.

I would love to know where the beautiful people are from, somehow I just clicked on this video and when I hear that lady speak I felt like it was old home week I normally from Southeast Kentucky
We're do you get the cotton bags? Also do you have a video on making bacon or I should say pork belly you just hang those right you don't put them in a sack or do you put cheesecloth around them I want to try my hand at that first before I try a ham
I just learned something that I didn’t know I had no idea where the hock was on the ham
Me either.
Its a good thing when a boy has a Papa!
yes it is
I never in my lifetime thought I’d see Richard on CZcams but I’ll say it’s pretty cool to see him involved with y’all’s channel
haha I doubt you see him on here very often!
We had to smoke our hams in the smoke house because it got too hot down here. It is so important to carry on the tradition and teach the children to carry on. The world is changing I am so scared for the world.
I am impressed with Meagans cooking, she can really use what’s available, which is something I’m trying to do to eliminate waste
I only recently realized that Americans still made real ham, and I loved your episode about how you make yours. Jesus, I'd love to try some of that. And I love your channel--I really look forward to your new posts.
thank you so much
Best in u tube
Kids precious
Meagan & Andy the greatest
Animals live them well taken care of thank God
Good morning from Upstate SC! Love the videos. Brings back memories of the good old days. We always killed pigs on day after thanksgiving because it was cold enough and we were out of school to help. Salted and hung hams just as you do
LOL..if your cows are happy they will stay home... meaning plenty of food and water... great video... awesome channel...
thank you
Thank you for putting the date in your title, so much easier to find videos I’m searching for.
I remember my Papaw who killed a hog every year had a smokehouse he had his hog meat in. It was on top of a hill behind his house and into the front of the hill he had dug his dairy for veggies etc. There is still a smokehouse at my home place in the city, Kingsport, TN, but is now used for storage. My sis lives there now. We had gardens and Mama put up most of our veggies but we only raised chickens for awhile. There’s nothing much better than salt cured country ham….Mama used to boil the ham slices in water in a skillet for a little while before she fried it. That sure helped tame the salt taste down. Now, among it seems almost everything else, I’m not supposed to have salt. But if I had a piece of ham on a biscuit I’d go for it. It’s been so long since I’ve had country ham. It’s great you have your Daddy there to support and help you when the load is so heavy. It’s a whole different world when our parents are gone. Y’all are the best! 🎉🙏🏻 🐖
Yeah I think the reason he didn’t want to hang his meat too close to his barn because he stored his corn shucks in the barn and it was the dry storage for the corn he would feed his hogs and the lumber he used came from our house that was torn down and he even used some of the lumber to make the gate up to his barn and yes I was my granddaddy’s girl I was crazy about him and I spent a lot of time with him and my grandmother in the summer
I love that you have family around. That’s so special.
I would love to see the old barn and Jacob's great-granddaddies old home place. I just find old history like that fascinating!
Unfortunately we just don't have a whole lot of old structures here in Arkansas due to Arkansas being sort of a wild frontier back in the day with not a whole lot of people settling in it in the early days.
Thanks for the wonderful video. Looking forward to more of Meghan's cooking!❤
Hey from Mississippi! I love your channel, especially the cooking videos!
I’m from Mississippi too. I just found their channel and I love them.
If I’m going to have a tortilla , salsa has to be close by 😂. Really appreciate Andy complimenting the dinner! 😊
Always great videos and info.
At 70 years old I learned a few things. Lol
S.W. VA here
That’s a truck load of goodness right there. You do know the breed and the way you raise them makes them so much better than one you buy. Some love put in them bags. I remember my Grand Pa told me that one year he did his hog killing and it got too warm and all his got skippers in them and had to throw them away and that was devastating when it was your Pork for the year and you had all the feed and time invested. After that he would take it and pay to have it kept in a walk in fridge. Couldn’t take that chance again!
Hi from Arkansas. You are both lucky to have a family history. My family moved so much, most are still in other countries. Hanging up your hams reminded me of my mom. She told me they hung up hams and sausages in the attic. She would see a few bats hanging too. No one bothered them, they eat a lot of mosquitoes. Your videos are always interesting and fun. Thanks.
thank you so much
The ham hanging is amazing and all that history in that barn! Very blessed to still have that all in the family. I don't think the quesadillas are weird at all. I actually make thin crust pizzas with burrito size tortillas, BBQ sauce, cheese, I use canned chicken or pork, some red onion and pickled jalapenos. You can cook them on the grill for a little added smokey flavor, in a hot oven or on a Blackstone if you have one. Then if you like, you can drizzle a little ranch over the top. We eat this a lot in the summer cause we like it on the grill. Makes a great lunch or supper! 😋🤤
that sounds good!
Love those old methods❤ There's an old gospel song "I'll stick with the old stuff" ..so true😊.
Is that dried beans hanging by your window, like leather britches?
I have some hanging in the kitchen but those are dried peppers by the window :)
Cold enough to kill hogs...great video. You've got a great dad. I've met him a few times...(Pastor Brewer)
hey there neighbor! thank you yes hes a heck of a man thats for sure
Well done! Your daddy and my daddy must have learned the same way of rigging things. My daddy could put something together that would make grown men shake their heads and grown women and children laugh their heads off! 😂 Have a blessed weekend!
Beautiful hams! You are so blessed to have your family and the property you grew up on. When you were talking about that single strand electric fencing… I said to myself, they feed their animals well! Then, you said it! Yeah- it’s not rocket science!
Good for you! Keeep on and please keep sharing your videos.
We absolutely love y'all!😊
Hi guys from Michigan. Love your videos. I always wounder how the meat was kept and curd. Y'all tought me alot.
You keep makin your videos I'll keep watchin. God bless, stay safe. Love y'all
Always enjoy your videos, and Grandpa's barn was a delight. Thankyou so much for sharing things with us and all the best wishes to you.
Gosh Andy you look just like your Daddy!!😊
thank you, yea I see it more and more everyday
Country Ham 👏👏👏one of my favorites ! Red Eye Gravy for the win !
amen!
Hello from not to very far from where y’all are at!
I love chopped BBQ quesadillas. I always make them when we have leftover pork!
I love this channel because I learn alot thank you ,and we will love to see where your grandfather and how they live hope I make sense 💞❤️💞❤️ thanks everyday I can't wait just for your video 💝📸 besafe and GOD Bless ❤️🌹❤️🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you
Very interesting how you hang ham isn’t that something didn’t know it you guys are teaching me stuff all the time I’m a city girl I’ll never do that kind of thing but I sure enjoy watching it. Thank you.❤
came from the pickled egg video. Thanks for sharing everything !
Happy pigs make happy ham and bacon. A day without bacon is like a day without sunshine.
Later years my father would run a single strand and use plastic baling twine to tie corners to things like the locust tree you pointed out. He kept a couple of sheep and goats and tied them that way around the buildings and farm equipment, better than a weed whacker! Because his fencing was fast and cheap he could rotational graze them. I do like Greg Judy Channel's perspective on having a very good perimeter fence as backup for all the moving fences used on the property.
Always fun tagging along with y'all! Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm not in crazy South Florida, even if its just for a few minutes, lol 😂 thank you! As always best wishes ~ Sheri
Thanks for sharing with us Andy and Megan and families ! I have to get a towel to catch the drool from watching this video. Those hams are going to be oh so good. Thanks for the little tour of one of Poppa's pastures. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, one strand of fencing for cattle. WOW, he sure has it down and well taken care of. Would like very much to see the barn you showed briefly. That will be a great video too. Great supper you fixed everyone Megan. You all stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
Thanks! hope we can do a video about it soon
Very neat video on family tradition! Your dad's fence looks just like my dad's when he had animals. Just a single line even pastured through woods that way.
yep, I never though about it when i was young but now it still just amazes me, of course if a tree falls on it its an easy fix hahaha
Love watching and learning new things!
My granddaddy built him a smoke house out of scrap lumber and he had it in his backyard so he could go out and tend to his meat because his barn was so far to walk
Last week was the 1st time I saw one of your videos, and I enjoyed it very much! This one about hanging hams was very informative. My mom often served country gram when I was a kid, but it's been years since I had some and red eye gravy. All of my life has been spent in the city, but I recall visiting my grandparents farm as a child. Farm or country life seems mighty special to me. I have subscribed to your channel and anticipate further viewing.
thank you so much! I hope you continue to enjoy the future content
Great idea for left over pork
Try them with peperjack cheese. We do the same every time we cook or smoke a butt roast. Enjoyed the video
sounds delicious
Those are some great looking hams. I saw one recently that wasn't half as big as those.
Pork is my favorite meat so I definitely enjoyed the video.
yum yum....toss some corn in that make a new one....lol Megan you rock woman!
Megan enjoy the channel and appreciate the time yall take to do the more simple but purposeful way to live. Wondering since you cure your own meat would you do a video on how to cook a ham that you have produced. Soaking preparation , time ,temp, from start to finish, I think it would be interesting to some of your viewers, thanks.
I see Megan with them black finger nails, I wonder if she’s a lot of country and a little bit Rock N Roll 🤘🏽
they're actually dark blue, but I got to say you made me laugh!
I'm going to try the barbeque sauce on the cascades. Sounds good. Plus I would like to see that barn!
Love watching y'all's videos,I was raised the same and that ham oh my if I could have country ham every meal I would just don't think my Dr would like it.😂.God Bless ♥️
We ate pork
Quesadillas in Wisconsin and there were some kind of coleslaw on it. Really really good. Thanks for the video.

they haven't haha
Love your videos. Y'all inspiring💜
I live in Kansas and when we put cows over to wheat pasture all that keeps them in is one strand electric fence 😎 that’s all it takes ✌🏻
Hi From Ft. McMurray, Alberta Canada. Just started my first country ham, can't wait to taste it! Thanks for all your good advice and showing me how you guys get er done, Cheers!
Hey neighbor from Saluda,NC. I just found and am enjoying your videos.

Eatn good,from Big Springs WV
Sure enjoy your videos. Hello from Kansas
Thank you!
Hi yall, from western Ky
I'd love to check out old barns and house that would be great.
Good afternoon Megan and Andy. Thanks for sharing. We tried to do our hamstrings that way years ago. It didn’t turn out well. Ended up having to discard them. We now do the McGee Homestead method of salt cure and smoke immediately afterwards. Best ham ever, we might be biased though. I’m hoping for our pigs to be in a similar fencing situation, fingers crossed. Have a great day.
I do believe the climate has to be right for our method to work right, and in these mountains its perfect, personally we've never cared much for the smoke flavor. I hope this season I can do an in depth video of how we do ours. also maybe we just haven't ate the right smoked ham yet.
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays we cured our Magalitsa hams in salt for a week then smoked it with oak and maple for 3 days. Making my mouth water typing this 😂
Love the video I got my hams hanging to here in Kentucky
thank you
Howdy from Kingsport, Tennessee!
Had a good time with ya
Hi, watching from New Zealand, really enjoyed your video.
They look great! Yummy!
HI FROM SOUTH MS.😅
like yours video
Hi beautiful people x❤❤❤ 😊
It's probably a good thing they we aren't neighbors. I would be trying to talk you out of one of those hams... I know they couldn't be bought !!...... I would probably be bringing my own hogs and pitching in and helping y'all with all of it. I kill and put up my own but it's always fun to trade hams....kinda get tired of your own "cookin" sometimes if you know what I mean !!
oh yea I know what you mean! we've traded hams with others before and we always argue about whos is best hahaha
Looks delicious and know it is😊.❤
Great video. We are loving your channel. Do you sell any of your hams? Megan, you always cook the most delicious looking meals. I recently made your cathead biscuits recipe from a recent video of yours, they turned out great!
Awesome! no we sure don't
Hi y'all 👋
A lot of ham.
I would love to have a country ham but my blood pressure says no you can’t have it and to stay away from ham
Always love watching y’all’s videos! You reminded me of when I was a kid in that tobacco barn, y’all familiar with the term climbing tiers?? I sure am lol
oh yes, done that many times when I was a kid
For us if livestock got out it was in town lol, today it's metro and couldn't save that in town farm.😢
Love and raised on country ham ❤! Wrapped many with white paper and hung in a pillow case 😮. Bacon in the way.😊 Have to have meat shed/smoke house. How else would you have smoked bacon//other?
So interestin! I guess I thought the meat went into a smoke house. I can't figure out how it doesn't spoil during that length of time. Love learning from you.
So they are already cured at this point by the salt mixture we had rubbed on them, now they hang to age. I really need to at some point go into detail about this whole process in a video because we get a lot of very good questions
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays thank you for explaining
You are every single man's dream life, at least mine
Duck Your Head, THE HAMS BE HANGIN!
