Our Roots

What Makes Our Jerky Special?

A Unique Process!

We slice high quality beef thin so you're not chewing for days. We then generously marinate our thinly sliced strips for a full savory flavor.

Here's what really separates us:

• Jerky is not always the easiest snack to eat, but when it's made right, it can be absolutely delicious and satisfying. That's why we pay such close attention to making sure each bite of our jerky is as good as it can be.

• We slice it thin, marinate it generously, and dry it to the texture we've been chasing from the start. No shortcuts, no filler, no mystery.

• Natural State Jerky was born on Lipe Farm in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, known around here as the Lazy L Ranch. That's where the recipe came from, and it's the same recipe we make today. We're still an Arkansas company, still run from Northwest Arkansas, and every batch gets the same attention it got on the farm. Read the whole story here.

• Our jerky is made from whole cuts of lean beef, sliced and marinated, never ground and formed. You can see the grain of the meat in every piece.

We don't just say it either, because our customers repeatedly tell us how much they love it. After tasting ours, would you want any other?
