Regeneratively Farmed, Pastured Whey Fed Berkshire Pork.

Very limited numbers.

Once again for Christmas 2024 we will be offering two styles of Christmas hams on-the-bone:

Farmstead Hams

Our nitrate-free hams are smoked over local Red Gums. Being nitrate-free, they are very much Farmstead style hams – pale in colour (think light roast beef colour with a touch of pink) and with a much more delicate smoky flavour than traditional hams. These are exceptional hams that really bring out the flavour of the pork and are much less salty than traditional hams. These are also gluten-free and free from any nitrates and chemical preservatives.

Traditional Hams

These hams are prepared in the traditional manner with minimal preservatives, gluten-free and smoked over local Red Gums. They are the traditional pink colour and have that slightly salty stronger flavour. They are also smoked with Red Gum.

All our hams are on-the-bone and range in size from 5kg-7kg with the majority of hams being around 5kg. They are from our beautiful Berkshire pigs, and the only difference between the two styles of ham is the method by which they have been cured. Our pigs are born and raised outdoors on our regenerative farm, munching away on their chemical-free “salad bar” pastures, digging in our mineral-rich volcanic soils along with delicious whey from Goldfields Farmhouse Cheese.

All of our bone-in hams are $42 per kilo.

To order, you will be required to pay a non-refundable $50 deposit and at checkout, you can indicate the size you would prefer. However, bear in mind, our pigs are special because they are “slow-grown”. Being 100% outdoors (with huts for shelter), their size will depend on the weather conditions amongst other factors (pigs are like us – some are more piggy with their food!) Hence your size preference might be a kilo or so on either side of your preferred size.

As we get closer to Christmas, we will be in contact with you to advise the final size of your ham and to confirm the final payment amount along with collection details.

Upon ordering your ham and paying the deposit, you will be asked to advise your preferred collection point. Collection dates are firm and hams won’t be available any earlier. If you are after a bigger/smaller size please indicate on the form on checkout and we will do our best to allocate your requested size.

Also, if you want us to contact you for a special pork or beef Christmas order, bacon & sausages for the holidays or any special requests, please comment on the order form, and we will be in touch.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without us including a recipe from our gorgeous friend and highly renowned chef, Annie Smithers.
