Meat snacks are a popular snack food. Packed with protein, lots of yummy flavors, and different shapes and sizes - what's not to love?

Beef jerky is one of the most popular meat snacks out there. Beef Jerky is made from strips of beef that are dried and flavored to make a chewy, dried strip of meat that makes for a delicious snack. Our beef jerky is always crafted to be the most soft and tender beef jerky you've ever had. The texture and flavor vary, but beef jerky is strips of dried meat that are salted and seasoned.

Meat sticks are another popular meat snack. Meat sticks, often called snack sticks, beef sticks, jerky sticks, or jerky snack sticks, are made by grinding, cooking, and drying meat and putting it into a casing to create the stick shape (source). Our meat sticks/snack sticks are made with beef and pork, always with our locally-raised beef as the first ingredient.

Beef jerky and meat sticks are the two main categories of meat snacks, but there are a variety of meat snacks out there! Most meat snacks are a variation on these two categories, though, and are typically made from different forms of dried and/or smoked meats!
