intense flavor and simply the best beef jerky available anywhere."
“Jeff, I have just received your Black
Pepper and Sea Salt jerky this morning, and I must say, this is the best jerky I have ever eaten. Here
in Brazil it is very difficult to buy beef jerky, you simply don´t find it. Thank you very much for sending
it all the way here! “ -Leonardo

"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.

"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 Big Bear City resident, Jeff 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!
