Bone-in Full Leg Christmas Hams. (deposit only)
Bone-in Full Leg Christmas Hams. (deposit only)
Our signature Christmas ham and a magnificent centrepiece for the table.
Because our pigs are slow-grown outdoors rather than raised to a standardised commercial size, weights naturally vary. This year, our hams will range from 4-6kg with the majority of them being around 5kg. Upon adding a full ham to your cart, you will be asked tell us your preferred size or if you want as small or as large as possible. We will always do our best to match your requirements but we can’t make any promises.
Please note that we won’t have any hams smaller than 4kg but we do have our boneless hams which will be 1.8-2.8kg.
$45/kg
Majority of hams will be around 5kg ~ $225.
You will pay a $50 deposit for your ham today and the balance is payable when you collect your ham.
Choose Farmstead Nitrate-Free or Traditional when ordering. See below to read the difference between the two methods.
What ham to choose?
All of our hams are all smoked over local Red Gum and we offer two cures - both very beautiful but offer a different tasting experience.
Nitrate-Free Farmstead Hams
A beautifully natural ham made without any chemicals or natural nitrates. These hams are therefore much paler in colour (think light roast beef colour with a touch of pink), less salty with a more delicate flavour that allows the flavour of the pork and the gentle Red Gum smoke to shine through. Gluten-free and free from any nitrates and chemical preservatives. These hams are truly exceptional and very popular with those who find traditional ham too strong in flavour. They do have a shorter shelf life after they are opened because they don’t contain preservatives, but you can chop up and freeze leftovers for cooking at a later date.
Whilst this isn’t one of our Brooklands hams - it is a nitrate-free ham and shows how the colour is much paler to traditional smoked hams. We always end up being too busy eating them on Christmas Day and always forget to take a photo!
Traditional Hams
Our classic Christmas ham. Traditionally cured and smoked over local Red Gum, they are beautifully pink, a little saltier and have those rich flavours which marry perfectly with sticky glazes. These hams are generous in size (most are around 5kg) offering enough for a large festive feast with leftovers for delicious sandwiches in the days ahead, or chop up and freeze to cook later or make incredible pea and ham soup during Winter.
A little note regarding our sizes
This year, our full leg hams will range in size from 4kg-6kg with the majority of hams will be around 5kg. To order, you will be required to pay a non-refundable $50 deposit and you will be asked to indicate the size you would prefer. Bear in mind, our pigs are incredibly special because they are ‘slow-grown’. Being 100% outdoors (with huts for shelter), their size will depend on the weather conditions along with other factors (like us - some are more piggy with their food!). So whilst we will endeavour to match your size request - your ham might be a kilo or so on either side of your preferred size.
