We have a small local butcher shop that we have used. They have their own smoked sausage that is very good. I've had them process deer in the past and it seemed good enough. They do a good business processing beef for local hobby ranchers but what they sell across the counter is mediocre. My neighbor 2 doors down family has a Cajun meat market that we use. Good sausage, smoked chicken, and boudin. We sometimes stock up the freezer before a trip. Need to do that this week.
The Sam's Choice hams from WalMart are OK. We get them around the holidays. I would rather find a source for smoked hams that is lower production and more natural but haven't made that happen.
