Jeff's Gourmet Jerky

   "The Best Beef Jerky"
Our Beef Jerky Story

The Old Fashioned Original flavor Jeff's Gourmet Jerky recipe had its orgins when founder, Jeff Richards began experimenting with Jerky recipes in the early seventies.  The original recipe has been fine-tuned each year for nearly thirty years and after a twenty-year career in the restaurant industry that culminated with experience as both a restaurant owner, consultant, founder and co-founder of restaurant and various business concepts, the one constant was Richards' love of cooking that was now a fourth generation family tradition.

Jerky... Black Pepper & Sea Salt


Jefff Richards, Founder and CEO

"The principles of gourmet cooking and eating wholesome food have been in my blood from an early age.  And coupled with my foodservice training that crossed cultures, the beef jerky recipes I prepared a few times a year just naturally continued to evolve" says Richards.

Then after twenty years of experience in the food service industry, Richards took his extensive corporate business development and business marketing training and used it to begin his own new company, Creative Business Adventures with the goal of helping small business owners market and develop their own business ventures with stream-lined strategies for success. 
Self-taught in a variety of additional and new, simple, but effective business development and marketing strategies, his company has served clients in a wide variety of industries throughout the United States and internationally.

Througout this time in his career, cooking Beef Jerky became something to do in the holiday season as a wholesome gift for friends and family.  Finally in late 2006, after giving away more than twenty-five pounds of his homemade product and his casual introduction of a few new fusion flavors...  "Interest in the product was overwhelming and pouring in from people in several states who had shared it with friends and acquaintences who wanted more. Both the demand and timing in the market place was just too big to ignore."  Still, it is a long journey to produce any recipe or food product commercially.

Now, after more than three years of working on every aspect of this new venture ... the birth of Jeff's Gourmet Jerky begins from the roots of the same tradition from which it started using premium cuts of beef in original fusion marinades that are slow cooked to perfection.  And the rest may be history, but don't just take our word ...go ahead and taste it and then you decide!
