Easter is just around the corner, and that means it's time for family gatherings, festive meals, and—of course—a little help from the Easter Bunny. But let’s be honest: planning the perfect Easter celebration can be difficult. The to-do list fills up fast, from prepping the main course to pulling together those delightful extras.

That’s where Stripling’s General Store comes in. With deep roots in Southern tradition and a reputation for high-quality Southern meats and sausages, Stripling’s has everything you need to create a memorable, mouthwatering holiday—whether you’re hosting brunch, dinner, or both. Whether you're stopping by our store in person or shopping from the comfort of your home, Stripling’s makes it easy to check everything off your Easter list.

Easter Meats Made Easy: Smoked Hams and Casseroles (In Store)

Let’s start with the star of any Easter table: the ham. At Stripling’s, you can order smoked hams in-store, packed with Southern flavor and slow-cooked to perfection. Our signature smoked hams are a beloved tradition across Georgia and beyond—tender, juicy, and seasoned just right, they make the perfect centerpiece for your holiday spread.

And it doesn’t stop there. Stripling’s also offers homestyle casseroles that are ready to heat and serve. From mashed potatoes to macaroni and cheese and sweet potato casserole, these comforting side dishes take the stress out of cooking so you can spend more time enjoying your family and less time in the kitchen.

While you're in-store, stock up on southern meats and sausage for meals throughout the weekend—think smoked sausage links for breakfast or jerky for a quick and easy snack. It's a quality you can taste in every bite.

Country Ham + Biscuits = Breakfast Bliss

Before the big Easter dinner, many families love to start the morning with a hearty breakfast—and Stripling’s has that covered too. Country ham and fresh, fluffy biscuits make the perfect Southern breakfast combo to kick off your Easter Sunday. Add a touch of mayhaw jelly (yes, we’ve got that too), and you’ve got a meal worth waking up early for.

If you haven’t tried Stripling’s country ham yet, you’re in for a treat. Salt-cured and packed with rich, smoky flavor, this ham is made the traditional way— and it tastes like it. Serve it sliced on warm biscuits or as part of a big brunch platter with eggs, grits, and fresh fruit. And don’t forget that mayhaw jelly again—its sweet and tangy profile is the perfect match for savory ham.

Want to mix things up? Try adding a little mayhaw jelly to your glaze for baked ham or spoon some over cream cheese for a simple Easter appetizer. It’s versatile, deeply Southern, and downright delicious.

Online Goodies: Relish Trays, Charcuterie, and Sweet Southern Treats

If you're planning to celebrate Easter with a crowd—or just want to impress your guests— Stripling’s online store is packed with gourmet goodies that ship right to your door. It’s a treasure trove of Southern meats, sausages, snacks, condiments, and sweets that add that extra-special touch to your holiday table.

Build a Relish Tray with Southern Charm

Relish trays are back in style, and we’re here for it. Stripling’s has all the pickled items you need to build the ultimate Southern-style relish tray, from sweet pickles to spicy okra and everything in between. It's a nostalgic, colorful, and crunchy addition to any Easter buffet—and a perfect nod to Grandma’s table.

Don’t forget to include our mayhaw jelly—a uniquely Southern spread made from the tart, wild mayhaw berry. It’s perfect alongside cheese, meats, or slathered on crackers. It also makes a great hostess gift if you visit family for the holiday. You can even include it in Easter baskets for a thoughtful, edible surprise.

Charcuterie Boards That Wow

Want to wow your guests? Create a charcuterie board using Stripling’s famous Southern meats and sausages. Add sliced summer sausage and savory country ham, paired with artisan cheeses, pickled veggies, and spicy mustard. Top it off with some toasted nuts and fresh fruit for a balanced board that looks as good as it tastes.

Stripling’s curated collection of meats and gourmet goods makes building an epic charcuterie board more effortless than ever—just hop online and pick your favorites. This is the kind of appetizer that gets people talking (and snacking) all the way to dinner.

For extra flair, drizzle a bit of mayhaw jelly over a soft cheese like brie or goat cheese—it’s a guaranteed hit and adds that unmistakable Southern touch to your board.

Chocolate-Covered Pecans: The Perfect Sweet Finish

No Easter celebration is complete without something sweet, and Stripling’s chocolate-covered pecans are just the thing. Found online, these decadent treats are made from Georgia-grown pecans and generously coated in rich, smooth chocolate. Whether you tuck them into Easter baskets or serve them after dinner, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast.

Pro tip: Stock up on a few extra bags—these make fantastic teacher gifts, hostess gifts, or just a little treat for yourself once the dishes are done.

Give the Gift of Southern Flavor

If you’re not hosting this year, Stripling’s still has your back. A curated gift box filled with Southern meats and sausages, sweet jams like mayhaw jelly, pickled vegetables, and Southern snacks is a thoughtful (and delicious) way to say "Happy Easter" from afar.

Shipping is quick and easy through our online store so you can send a little taste of Georgia anywhere in the U.S. It's the next best thing to being there in person.

And if you're gifting someone who’s never had Southern meats and sausage the way Stripling’s does them, be ready for them to start ordering on their own after that first bite.
