Sometimes you get cravings, and very specific ones at that. For the past month, I've had a hankering for beef jerky. I suspect that beef jerky ranks quite low in most people's snack departments, including my own, up until a few weeks ago. Meandering aimlessly through the aisles of a neighborhood grocery, I came across your run-of-the-mill package of dried meat. This moment was the catalyst for a repetitive beckoning in my gut, one that would sway in and out like a pendulum, right up until this week when it was finally satisfied.

Discovering the Jerky Baron's products made me very happy to not have consumed the junk I grew up with from the local 24-7 convenience shop. Simply put, it's incredibly tasty and the locals who make it know what they're doing. Janaki told me that it could be because Drevs Driessen of D-Original Sausage Co. had helped them with some consulting work. One thing I know is that when D is involved, the product is destined to be outstanding, which is the case here.

The Jerky Baron team are passionate about what they do, and have have made a meaningful commitment to bring you the most exquisite beef jerky on the market, and it shows in their product. They use free range, grass-fed, grain-finished, Black Angus beef exclusively.

If you're a fan of charcuterie or are suffering from a random craving for jerky as I was, visit our shop and take home a package of these goods. You won't regret it!
