Smoked Ham is Back! (+ This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

We have some wonderful news: our smoked ham is back! It's so good we almost thought of not sharing! It's the ultimate comfort food. All joking aside, we will need to limit two hams per customer, while supplies last. If you are planning ahead for a special meal with family and friends, the hams range from 2 to 10 pounds and are fully smoked. For those who have waited patiently for our new recipe, it was truly worth it! Thank you for sticking with us!

The cure mix we used is called "prosur" and comes from a company in Spain who perfected a truly "uncured celery free" option and the result is a deep smoke flavor with hints of brown sugar, clove, and other spices that will delight your taste buds. Combined with our pannage-raised pork from right here in NW Indiana, the result is beyond beyond. In other words, we can't put it into words!
