Old fashioned smoked ham makes a great meal for a large gathering of holiday meal. We prefer hams that are from local farmers as opposed to Smithfield hams where the pigs are raised in less than ideal conditions. Bone in hams have much better flavor. You may go to our local harvest to locate a farmer in you area that raises high quality pork. Local Harvest
