Looking for a tasty ham for the holidays but not sure where to look. Would prefer organic, freerange, humanely treated, hormone-, lead paint-, and gmo-free, etc, etc. Not the southern VA dry cured (country cured), but more the fresh ham (city cure, I believe).

Eastern Market only seems to have prepacked hams from Smithfield Corp, fresh and country, but they're inhumane to man and beast.

Eco Friendly (Arlington and Dupont farmers market) has great pork but doesn't have hams.

I've ordered half a pig from CawCawCreek (SC) in the past, very nice, old fashioned, tastey, but they also have no hams.

Last year we got a delish Kurobuta ham from David Rosengarten but a screwup with the ordering has scared us away from doing that again.

Any suggestions for good, tasty, hams, prefereably from happy pigs raised locally?

Thanks.

Have you called the Organic Butcher in McLean to see what they might be able to do for you?

Did you try Cedarbrook, at the opposite end of the Dupont market (north vs. south of iron gate) from Eco-Friendly? I thought they listed hams on their signs.
