Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams
Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams are slow cured using salt, brown sugar, curing salt, and pepper and are typically aged 8-10 months, though hams are available 1 year and older. This time-honored practice dates back to the era of our forefathers, when the preparation and preservation of meat was a way of life and sustenance. Although the hands of time and technology have sculpted many aspects of our modern world, at Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams they have upheld the traditional dry-curing process and are striving to produce world class country hams and bacon.

Square Roots
Square Roots is on a mission to bring local, real food to people in cities around the world and empower next-gen leaders in urban farming. They have recognized that our cities are at the mercy of an industrial food system that ships in high-calorie, low-nutrient, processed food from thousands of miles away. It leaves us disconnected from the comfort, the nourishment, and the taste of food—not to mention the people who grow it. People want real, local food—food you can trust to nourish your body, the community, and the planet. And they want it all year round, grown in the cities where they live.

Bernard Ranches
Vince and Vicki Bernard began farming their land in 1979. Their land is farmed sustainably by relying on the use of beneficial insects, avoiding the use of synthetic pesticides or herbicides, and the use of drip irrigation systems. Their soil is fertilized with seaweed and urea and mushroom compost is added for an added hit of nitrogen compound – an element that fruit trees crave. The superior flavor and sweetness of Bernard Ranch citrus fruits is the combined result of ultra-rich, seaweed-packed soil, ideal terroir and hands-on farming. These people love what they do for a living.
