Our Story

It all started in 1987 with a single batch and a simple obsession. Over 30 years later, that same passion for the perfect chew is what drives us every day. We’re a dedicated team of jerky lovers committed to one thing: bringing you honest, delicious, Real Beef Jerky—the way it was meant to be made.

At Big Z, we believe superior jerky isn’t an accident—it’s the result of a tireless process. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t do 'good enough.' We pour our grit and passion into every step of the cure, obsessing over the details to ensure every bite delivers the premium quality you deserve.

Time, smoke, and tradition. We honor the old ways by perfecting our marinades and slow-drying our beef to produce a legendary Old Western Style jerky that stays true to Grandpa’s original standards. Real smokehouse flavor, thirty years in the making.
