A holiday ham should feel effortless, generous, and worthy of the table. For Easter, the best choice is often the one that gives you a beautiful centerpiece without adding unnecessary work to the day.


At Big Horn Mountain Farms, our hams are smoked and fully cooked, ready to eat or reheat.

Who Our Ham Is Best For

Our smoked, fully cooked ham is a strong choice for the host who wants an Easter meal that feels special without feeling complicated.


It is ideal for gatherings that want an easy main dish, for families who want reliable leftovers, and for anyone who would rather spend more time with guests than managing a long cooking process. Ham also keeps well once cooked and refrigerated properly. FoodSafety.gov says cooked whole ham keeps about one week in the refrigerator, while cooked slices, halves, or spiral-cut ham generally keep three to five days.

A Short Food Safety Note

Because our ham is fully cooked, your focus is reheating, not cooking from raw. USDA guidance says cooked hams packaged in a USDA-inspected plant should be reheated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, while leftovers and other cooked hams should be reheated to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. A food thermometer is the easiest way to protect both quality and food safety.
