Christmas Hams: Why Shopping Local Beats the Big Supermarkets
Most conventional hams (and pork) sold in Australian supermarkets —and even many retail butchers — come from pigs raised in intensive factory farming systems, meaning that the pigs and piglets are kept indoors on concrete slabs with barely any space to move freely throughout their lives.
At the heart of everything we do is the ethical treatment of animals. We have never, and will never stock products sourced from intensive farming. Every ham in our store is made on-site using certified Western Australian Free Range Pork and naturally smoked in our in-store smokehouse.
