We are pleased to offer what we feel is the best Country Ham available. Goodnight Brothers are producers of traditional country ham since 1948. Country ham dry cured with sugar and salt from Goodnight Brothers, Boone, NC. Located in the NorthWestern Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

Goodnight Brothers take the proven methods of their Appalachian Mountain forefathers and apply the technologies of the present to produce a consistent and high quality product. Below is a brief outline of how the natural seasons of Winter Spring Summer and Fall are duplicated.

Whole Country Ham packed in a cloth sack and a box 14-17 pound average

*Gift Box, (4) 12 ounce packs of boneless center and end slices

* The number of packs can be increased or decreased according to customer needs.

Winter
The most critical and time consuming phase to the process. Goodnight Brothers   take the freshest, leanest, and highest quality hams available and hand apply salt and a specially formulated curing mixture. They are then stored in a Winter like environment.
Spring
The hams have absorbed all salt and sugar in the Winter room. They are then put in nets and hung on racks. The salt and cure mix is then able to equalize throughout the whole ham giving it a consistent flavor throughout.
Summer
In the Summer room or heat stage of the process the temperature is maintained at ninety degrees or above. In this critical stage, the hams complete the drying process and are re dried for the fall environment.
Fall
In order to de-bone and slice the cured country hams, they are cooled to a Fall like temperature. The chilled hams allow for more precision when boned, sliced and packaged

Goodnight Brothers uses the freshest hams from eastern North Carolina. All hams are cured the old-fashioned way by hand-rubbing the salt and sugar on the meat. With a ham this high in quality, why save it only for the holidays or a breakfast treat? Goodnight recommends wrapping shrimp or scallops in a thin slice of ham. Or, try stuffing a chicken breast with spinach, goat cheese, and country ham. If you go crazy for shrimp and grits, add a few fine slices of country ham for a slightly richer taste.

Hams Direct part in this operation is to provide Fresh, Quality Country Ham to you in a very timely and cost efficient manner.  We are  located less than 2 miles from the Goodnight Brothers facility and is located directly across the street from the world famous Dan'l Boone Inn restaurant.
