Our jerky is a little more expensive than other brands because of the high quality of meat used and the labor intensive way that the jerky is produced. All of our beef jerky is cut from the beef round and carefully trimmed by hand to remove fat and gristle, leaving only pure lean meat. It takes three pounds of raw beef to produce one pound of jerky.
