Our Story: From Closet to the Country’s Top Jerky Club
Back in 2017, we were just two jerky-loving entrepreneurs tired of bland gas station jerky. We stumbled across a few small-batch brands at a farmers market and had an aha moment: craft jerky was on the rise, but hard to find.
So, we decided to change that. We launched JerkyGent® to help people discover new, bold flavors every month and support the growing community of jerky artisans across the country.
- We packed our first boxes in a closet.
- Then we outgrew a bedroom, a garage, and even our Jeep (which we loaded to the brim with boxes!).
- By 2020, we moved into a bigger warehouse in Rockford, MI and haven’t slowed down since.
Today, JerkyGent is trusted by 30,000+ members nationwide and has shipped millions of boxes to jerky lovers everywhere.
