Ham Produce

Founded in 1975, Ham Farms is a family-owned and operated business headquartered in Snow Hill, NC. After graduating from East Carolina University and completing an off-farm auditing position with Texas Pipeline Gas, Bobby Ham returned home to the family farm. At that time, Woody and Allen Ham were farming approximately 200 acres of primarily row crops. In the early 80s, Bobby had high aspirations and decided it was time to diversify. Beginning with sweet potatoes, the Hams ventured into vegetable production. As the family and the crops grew, so did the company. Before long, the Ham’s Yams sweet potato brand spread nationally and internationally.

Happy Dirt (East Carolina Organics)

The curing process is a vital step that enhances the flavor and shelf life of sweet potatoes. After harvesting, sweet potatoes undergo curing, a process that involves storing them in a warm, humid environment for about 7 to 14 days. This process converts the starches in sweet potatoes to sugars, resulting in a sweeter taste and more appealing texture.

Curing also helps heal any minor cuts or bruises, preventing rot and extending the storage life of sweet potatoes. Once curing is complete, sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place with good ventilation to maintain their quality.

At Keany Produce, we go the extra mile to bring you the freshest, most flavorful sweet potatoes! Our sweet potatoes are carefully cured to lock in their natural sweetness and perfect texture, ensuring every bite is as delicious as it should be.

Though often used interchangeably, sweet potatoes and yams are quite different! Sweet potatoes have smooth, thin skin and flesh that range from creamy white to vibrant orange or even deep purple. They are naturally sweet, with a soft, moist texture when cooked.

Yams, on the other hand, are a starchy, dry tuber native to Africa and Asia, featuring rough, bark-like skin and white, purple, or reddish flesh. Unlike sweet potatoes, yams are less sweet and have a much drier, firmer texture, often requiring longer cooking times. While sweet potatoes are widely used in casseroles, fries, and pies, true yams are more commonly found in international markets and traditional African and Caribbean cuisine.
