Marinated in organic honey and smoked over smouldering hickory coals, Organic Prairie's new Organic Hardwood Smoked Uncured Ham offers "Old World" smoke house taste in convenient, fully cooked slices.
Made by the same farmers who pioneered America's organic meat category, Organic Prairie's new premium ham slices are made from Berkshire and other heirloom pork breeds. The animals are humanely raised on organic family farms and enjoy plenty of room to roam, fresh air and sunshine.
"Organic Prairie's succulent new ham slices are perfect for families who want both taste and convenience," said Michael Levine, Organic Prairie's President. "They're tender with just a hint of sweetness and are ready to heat, roll into hors d'oeuvres, or stack in a sandwich."
Like all Organic Prairie organic deli meats, Organic Hardwood Smoked Uncured Ham slices are made with no nitrates or nitrates added. All products are produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides, and animals are fed only 100-percent certified organic feed and pasture. The organic ham slices use an old family recipe that combines organic spices and honey with fresh sea salt and natural flavors. A two-slice serving provides 13 grams of protein.

Organic Prairie Family of Farms: Organic Pioneers
The farmers who supply Organic Prairie were among the nation's first to produce meat without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides. They insisted on third-party organic meat certification long before federal organic standards were established and were among the first in the industry to ban animal by-products from their cattle's diet. They played a vital role in shaping federal organic meat certification standards—the strictest in the industry. This cooperative of organic family farmers began selling meat in 1996 under the Organic Valley brand and has recently repositioned its meat products under the Organic Prairie brand. Organic Prairie offers a full line of fresh organic beef and pork items designed to serve the diverse needs of the growing organic consumer market. Organic Prairie also offers a full line of frozen beef, pork, chicken and turkey items branded under the original Organic Valley label. In 2006, all items will transition to the Organic Prairie label. Included in this line of products are such items as: beef steaks, roasts, ground beef, hot dogs, pork chops, prok roasts, bacon, ham and assorted sausages, whole roasting chicken and boneless skinless breast, and whole large and small turkey. Organic Prairie's products are available nationwide at leading supermarkets, natural food stores, cooperative groceries and restaurants.
