MEDIA RELEASE 1 NOVEMBER 07

A FEEL GOOD KIWI CHRISTMAS
Buy NZ Free-Range Hams from Freedom Farms

Freedom Farms is proud to announce that it will have a limited number of special free-range, New Zealand hams, available for Christmas.

Freedom Farms hams are produced from New Zealand pork raised on farms at the foothills of the Southern Alps. Their farms are the only SPCA certified pork farms in New Zealand. The SPCA seal of approval comes with the guarantee that all Freedom Farms hams come from free-farmed ‘happy’ pigs. That means they’ve lived the good life - raised with open fields, mud holes, and deep straw shelters - no sow crates, no farrowing crates, no cages, no pens and certainly no growth hormones.

By far the majority of hams consumed in New Zealand each Christmas are produced from frozen, imported pork that has been intensively raised. Because the country of origin is not declared, consumers have no way of knowing how humanely the pork has been farmed, or if it has been raised with growth hormones and chemicals.

More and more consumers worldwide are insisting on knowing more about the origins of their food and are demanding higher quality, more naturally farmed foods. Kiwis are no exception.

Co Founder of Freedom Farms, Gregor Fyfe says, “Christmas is a time for warmth, sharing and happiness. It’s when we show our loved ones how much they mean to us. Making sure we only eat ‘happy’ food that we know has been farmed humanely in New Zealand, reflects this festive spirit and is simply good for the soul.”

Freedom Farms Christmas hams are prepared the way ham used to be – free-range pork, naturally cured (which means they don’t pump it full of water), and with a real wood smoke. The result is a ham with a natural texture that’s delicious, robust and full of flavour.

For a truly festive celebration this Christmas, make sure you’re one of the lucky Kiwis that will be sitting down to a meal of this very special ham, with a happy history.

Freedom Farms Christmas hams are available in specialist food stores and selected supermarkets nationwide.
