It took almost twelve years to review $10,000 worth of jerky. That is not a small amount. Thankfully, nearly 2/3 of that amount was submitted jerky. Ideally, we would only review submitted jerky, but that’s not really feasible. A goal of this website is to review as many jerky brands as possible, and that could not happen with just submitted jerky. Occasionally, we do not get around to reviewing a purchased jerky brand until a year later. That would not be fair to jerky makers who submit their jerky for review.
The biggest complaint that people have about jerky is that it’s expensive. While there are cheaper brands of jerky out there, good quality jerky can be expensive. Keep in mind that jerky loses 50% to 75% of its weight due to moisture evaporating during the drying process. Of course, the best way to get around the expensive price of jerky is to make your own homemade jerky. However, even homemade jerky is not all that inexpensive either, considering the current price of meat.

The figure of $10,000 worth of jerky reviewed is misleading. The actual figure would be much higher, as the $10,000 only includes unique bags of jerky reviewed. If, for example, a jerky maker submits or we purchase two 3 oz bags of the same flavor, then that only counts as one 3 oz bag. For example, a jerky maker sends us one 3 oz bag and one 1 oz bag of the same flavor, that does count as two bags reviewed. There needs to be something unique about the bag, whether the bag size is different, the bag design has changed, or the jerky has been tweaked.
We are proud to offer great exposure and cater to every jerky brand known in the market and community, within the approximately 4.4 billion dollar annual sales jerky industry. The jerky sector has a broad presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Generally, jerky makers with high social media activity tend to produce good to great tasting jerky.
