Crafting the Hudson Valley's Best Artisan Jerky
Born from a passion for real flavor, H&J Jerky delivers small-batch, handcrafted meat snacks using 100% pure ingredients. No shortcuts, just authentic taste.
It’s always been about the product.
When Hunter and Joe first set out to make the perfect beef jerky, they had one rule: focus entirely on the flavor. That’s why our original label, which was designed by Hunter himself, is still on every bag today. It serves as a daily reminder to our family and our customers that we don't need a slick corporate rebrand or flashy marketing gimmicks to sell our snacks. The quality speaks for itself.
We aren't a massive factory pumping out processed junk. We are local makers rooted in Dutchess County, dedicated to bringing honest, mouth-watering provisions to our community and beyond. Whether you're grabbing a bag for a hike or stocking up your local taproom, you're getting our absolute best in every bite.
The H&J Standard
Premium Cuts & Honest Ingredients
very single batch of H&J Jerky begins with 100% premium Top Round beef. We refuse to use cheap cuts, artificial fillers, or chemical preservatives. Instead, we source high-quality meat and hand-slice it to guarantee a satisfying, protein-rich chew that stands out from commercial, gas-station alternatives.
The real magic, however, happens in the marinade. From authentic Jim Beam Bourbon to fresh ginger and raw honey, our recipes are crafted entirely from scratch. This meticulous, small-batch process ensures maximum flavor absorption, resulting in a premium artisan jerky that we are proud to supply to our wholesale partners across the state.
We Focus on the Premium Inside the Bag
We didn't hire a corporate marketing team to design flashy packaging. Instead, we put all of our passion, time, and pure ingredients right where they belong—into crafting the best Top Round beef jerky in the Hudson Valley.
Premium Cuts
It all starts with the meat. We exclusively use 100% premium Top Round beef, carefully selected and sliced to guarantee a perfectly tender, high-protein bite every single time
Bold Marinades
No artificial shortcuts here. We hand-mix our marinades from scratch using real, robust ingredients like raw honey, fresh garlic, dark molasses, and premium bourbon.
Small-Batch Process
We take our time. Our beef is slow-marinated in small batches to ensure it absorbs every ounce of that authentic, rustic flavor before the drying process even begins.
Fresh To The Door
Once it's perfect, we bag it up. We focus on the premium inside, delivering fresh, handcrafted jerky locally across Dutchess County.
