At Pure Pasture Farms, we believe food should be as natural as possible—free from synthetic additives and raised with care for both the animals and the land. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Naturally Cured Smoked Pork Ham Roast—a true alternative to conventional ham that embodies clean, natural, and regenerative farming.

Why Our Ham Stands Out

1. Naturally Cured—No Synthetic Preservatives

Unlike conventional hams that rely on synthetic nitrates and nitrites, our ham is naturally cured using simple, time-honored methods. We use cultured celery powder and mineral-rich sea salts to preserve the ham, creating a clean, flavorful product without artificial preservatives.

2. Forest-Raised Pork

Our ham comes from heritage-breed hogs raised in a natural, forested environment and finished on acorns. This humane approach results in pork with richer flavor and superior fat quality—completely different from factory-farmed alternatives. The pigs live as nature intended, contributing to a more sustainable and ethical food system.

3. Pure, Simple Ingredients

Unlike mass-produced ham that often contains fillers, artificial flavorings, and preservatives, our ham is crafted with only the essentials:

  • Black pepper, garlic powder, and juniper berries for natural depth of flavor.
  • Sea salt and kosher salt instead of heavily processed salts.
  • Cane sugar and brown sugar—never high-fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.

It’s real food, made the right way.

4. Regeneratively Raised—No Factory Farming

Our pork is raised on pasture and in forested areas, without the use of GMO grain, antibiotics, or industrial farming practices. This method promotes animal welfare, improves soil health, and enhances biodiversity—values at the heart of Pure Pasture Farms.

5. Naturally Smoked for Authentic Flavor

Many conventional hams rely on artificial smoke flavoring or liquid smoke. Ours is genuinely hardwood smoked, creating a rich, deep flavor that processed meats simply can’t replicate.

6. A Better Nutritional Profile

Naturally raised pork means:

  • Higher Omega-3 fatty acids and healthier fats.
  • More vitamins and minerals, thanks to their natural diet and active lifestyle.
  • No antibiotic residues or hidden additives—just pure, wholesome meat for your family.

7. Supporting a Sustainable Food System

Choosing our ham isn’t just about better taste—it’s about making a conscious decision to support regenerative agriculture. Every purchase contributes to healthier soil, restored ecosystems, and an ethical approach to food production.

A Cut Above the Rest

Our forest-raised, naturally cured, and naturally smoked ham is more than just a meal—it’s a commitment to real food, real flavor, and real sustainability.

We invite you to taste the difference.
