We started Jerky Snob because we were disappointed with the quality of jerky that you find in your local grocery stores or gas stations. They all seemed to taste the same and had too many preservatives added so they could stay on the shelf for a long time. We started looking for high quality jerky and found that it was difficult to locate as well as expensive to ship if we wanted a variety from multiple companies. To us, jerky is a great snack in between meals, a camping and hiking necessity, or sporting event snack. We found that we were not alone in our quest to get a great snack that was high in protein and not full of preservatives. When friends noticed we were eating brands of jerky they had never heard of and after repeated requests for us to get them some too, Jerky Snob was born
