A Premier Holiday Gift for Family, Friends & Everyone in Between

Our hams are the product of salt-curing techniques that go back to the earliest days of America, methods our family still uses today because they produce exceptional Virginia country ham with a rich, unique flavor. We've been at it for 90 years, and a Padow's ham is the quintessential taste of the South, a little Southern history right on the holiday table.

Our gift boxes have a premium look, taste, and feel, so whoever is on your list this season, you can be sure they'll appreciate the gesture. As holiday food gifts go, few are as memorable as a heritage Virginia ham.

Holiday Food Gift Ideas for Every Name on Your List

For Family & Friends

A Virginia ham is a Southern holiday tradition, and it makes a generous holiday food gift for parents, in-laws, siblings, and friends who host. Want something more put together? Our gift boxes pair sliced ham with bacon, jams, and baking mixes.

For Hosts & Holiday Parties

Skip the usual bottle of wine. A country ham brings real substance to open houses, office potlucks, and holiday dinners, and sliced hams are easy to serve to a group.

For Loved Ones Far Away

We ship outside Virginia, so a ham or gift box can reach the relative who moved away, the college kid missing home, or anyone who misses Virginia food. Just mind the earlier out-of-state deadlines below.

For Teachers, Neighbors & Everyday Thank-Yous

Not every gift needs to be a whole ham. Our jams and jellies, mustards, honey, and Southern baking mixes make small, thoughtful food gifts for the holidays. The mixes are $10.95 each.

Thanksgiving Food Gifts & Christmas Food Gifts

Food Gifts for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving gifts usually go to the host or the family you're visiting, and a Virginia country ham is a gift that belongs at the table. Send a sliced buffet ham for the sideboard, or a bone-in country ham for a bigger crowd. Prefer something more put together? Our gift boxes work as food gift baskets for Thanksgiving, with Southern favorites packed and ready to give.

Food Gifts for Christmas

Christmas means a longer list: family, neighbors, coworkers, friends. A salt-cured country ham is a Christmas food gift that suits all of them, and a ham tends to stretch across a few meals before the holidays are over. Choose from sliced, boneless, bone-in, or spiral hams, or send one of our gift boxes, which make easy food gift baskets for Christmas.
