The Best Ham for Foodservice and Catering

Jones Dairy Farm hams aren’t just another protein — they’re a statement piece for your menu. From corporate events to buffets and holiday banquets, our premium foodservice hams are crafted to meet the high standards of professional kitchens.

Bone-In Hams: A Carving Station Centerpiece

Jones Bone-In Hams bring more than flavor to the table — they create an experience. Perfect for carving stations, these hams add a premium, interactive element to buffets, brunches, and catered events. Carving stations have become a hallmark of upscale dining, allowing guests to enjoy freshly sliced ham right in front of them. Paired with sides like roasted vegetables, potatoes, and seasonal desserts, our hams elevate both the atmosphere and the menu.

Naturally Smoked Ham with Whole-Muscle Quality

For over 135 years, Jones Dairy Farm has crafted hams in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, using time-honored methods. Our hams are naturally smoked over real hickory or cherrywood chips — never liquid smoke — for an authentic, subtly sweet, smoky flavor in every bite.

We use only premium, whole-muscle cuts with no fillers, trimmings, or unnecessary additives. This means more usable meat, a consistent texture, and a presentation your guests will notice.

Fully Cooked, Heat-and-Serve Convenience

In a busy kitchen or banquet setting, time is everything. That’s why all Jones hams are fully cooked and ready to heat, glaze, and serve. Whether you’re creating a show-stopping carving station, thin-sliced ham sandwiches, or cubed ham for salads and breakfast dishes, our products save you time without sacrificing quality.

Glazed Ham: A Growing Foodservice Trend

If you’re looking for a menu trend with staying power, glazed ham is it. Particularly popular in the Midwest, honey mustard and BBQ glazes are among the top choices for consumers.

• Predicted 4-year growth: +32%*, outperforming 73% of other foods, beverages, and ingredients
• Consumer appeal: 72% of all consumers love or like glazed ham, rising to 82% among those who’ve tried it

Adding a Jones ham with a signature glaze to your menu is a surefire way to please guests and boost sales.
