It took about seventeen years to accumulate 1,700 jerky shrine bags. Our recent 2024 California trip helped us get over 1,700 bags with forty-six jerky bags accumulated on that trip, a decent jerky haul. Of the 36 jerky brands found, 31 are new to this jerky review website. We are going back to our roots after this California trip focusing more on small craft jerky brands rather than big brand jerky.

2024 California Trip
My wife Stephanie (Birdie) and I’s trip to California was a success, mainly based at Port Hueneme, Madera, and Lake Tahoe. It was great to catch up on Steph’s extended family and friends. As with any trip to the USA, I tried to line up six jerky submissions, which I did. Usually, one or two jerky makers bow out at the last minute for whatever reason. On this particular trip, only three of the six jerky makers came through with Read More
Jerky Ingredients 10 Year Anniversary
Ten years later, we are still publishing jerky reviews. We still have plenty of inventory to review, with enough jerky to last until the Fall. Over the last couple of years, the focus has shifted to purchased jerky rather than jerky submissions. Of course, we are always open to receiving jerky submissions. Coming in 2024 is jerky purchased from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, along with some new Canadian jerky brands. We Read More
300 Jerky Distributors
It took us nearly nine years to review 300 jerky distributors. Normally, the jerky manufacturer is also the jerky distributor. It is not uncommon to see private labelers manufacture jerky. Some jerky distributors have multiple jerky brands, and in some cases, many jerky brands. Back in 2010 – 2012, it was the distribution that killed our chances of launching our jerky brand. We could not put forth a valid business plan, Read More
900 Jerky Ingredients
When I first started this jerky review website in 2014, I had already accumulated about 550 jerky ingredients. I thought we would get to 700 ingredients, but no more than 800 ingredients. Well, over 1,000 jerky reviews later, we have now reviewed over 900 jerky ingredients. Our last review on Wild Javelina alone introduced nine new ingredients. I thought that those days were behind us but that is what you get Read More
$8,000 Jerky Reviewed
It took over nine years to review $8,000 worth of jerky. The biggest complaint that people have about jerky is that it’s expensive. While there are cheaper brands of jerky, good quality jerky can be expensive. Remember that jerky loses 50% to 75% of its weight due to moisture evaporating during drying. Of course, the best way to get around the expensive price of jerky is to make homemade jerky. Read More
1000 Jerky Tags
It took us over 9 years to celebrate creating 1000 Jerky Tags here at www.jerkyingredients.com. For the record, there are 72 jerky categories created now, where WordPress has a limit of around 100 categories. As a basic description, a Jerky Tag is descriptive, and a Jerky Category is generalized. Jerky tags are unlimited in the popular web content management system WordPress. Read More
2023 Grass Fed Beef Jerky Price
This marks our first published post regarding the price of grass fed beef jerky. Not all grass fed beef is the same. Ideally, the cattle would be raised on a ranch or farm. There is a large grass fed beef company located in New Zealand that has a horribly processed tasting beef and sold at a low price. In this 2023 grass fed beef jerky update, the price of grass fed beef jerky decreased by Read More
2023 Jerky Price Update
Inflation continues in 2023 with no real end in sight due to the rising prices of meat, ingredients, gas, wages, electricity, etc. The 2023 Jerky Price Update contains a mixed bag, but for the most part, the price of jerky went up in 2023. Every year we expand the number of jerky makers included for each type of jerky to get a better gage of the price. Seventeen types of jerky prices were updated in 2023. For the second year Read More

In this 2023 beef biltong update, 32 biltong makers across the USA were included. The price of biltong increased by 14 cents per ounce of biltong in 2023, a sizeable price increase. Read More
