Christmas Hams // Limited Stock!

Saint Johns Butchery

It's only 12 days until Christmas ... but not too late to start preparing for those special meals with family and friends!

Saint Johns Butchery has been smoking hams the old-fashioned way for over ten years, taking great care to produce succulent artisan hams for our discerning customers. (And we consider the welfare of the animals when sourcing our meat ... all of our pork comes from New Zealand PigCare-accredited farms.)

Our Christmas hams have been in hot demand this year so we have limited stock! Pop in store now to see what we have available. (Sorry, no orders.)

While you're in store, check out our huge variety of top-quality meats; you may find something else that meats your festive entertainment needs. Remember, our friendly team of butchers are always happy to help ... just ask!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
