Backwoods Jerky is a Family Owned & Operated Business Located in the Heart of Central Kentucky.

Our story began over a decade ago, rooted in a passion for quality meats and a love for bringing people together through delicious snacks.

Growing up on our family farm, we learned the importance of hard work, tradition, and the simple joys of life. Inspired by our heritage, we decided to combine our love for agriculture with a desire to create something special—beef jerky that reflects our values and flavors unique to our region.

Using only the finest cuts of locally sourced beef, we handcraft our jerky in small batches, ensuring every piece meets our high standards for quality and taste. Each flavor is carefully developed, blending traditional recipes with a modern twist, all while embracing the rich culinary influences of Kentucky.

As a family operation, we take pride in our close-knit team, which includes our kids who help with everything from packaging to taste-testing! We believe in the importance of community and sustainability, sourcing ingredients from local farms whenever possible and supporting our fellow Kentucky producers.

Our commitment to quality extends beyond our products. We strive to create a welcoming experience for our customers, whether they’re visiting us at local markets, our shop, or ordering online. We love sharing our story and passion for jerky with everyone who joins us on this journey.

Thank you for supporting our family business. We’re excited to share our delicious beef jerky with you and your loved ones, one flavorful bite at a time!
