What exactly does supporting small farms mean in practice? Well for CityZen/Sou'Wester chef Eric Ziebold that meant buying 10 unsold hams off Virginia farmers Tommy and DeeDee Darden so they could make room for a new batch. And now he's helping you: Swing by Sou'Wester for a meal by March 1 and drop a business card into the raffle bowl for the chance to win one 22-pound ham. Not sure what to do with 22 pounds of ham? Ziebold will put together a couple recipes for the winner, telling Eater, "Obviously, for me the biggest thing was to try and support what [the Dardens are] doing." [EaterWire]
