Applewood Smoked Apricot Honey Teriyaki

Sweet. Smoky. Dangerously tender.

This ain't your gas station beef stick. We marinate thin-sliced premium beef in a honey-apricot teriyaki glaze, then slow-smoke it over real applewood until it's the kind of jerky that'll make you question every life decision that led you to settle for lesser.

Dangerously addictive

Why We're Different

Built for the modern Neanderthal.

01

Small Batch

Every bag is made in small runs so the flavor hits hard every single time. No factory lines. No shortcuts. Just meat and obsession.

02

Real Wood Smoke

We use actual wood. Not liquid smoke. Not a smoke-flavored powder. Real. Burning. Wood. Your taste buds will know the difference.

03

Zero Apologies

Bold flavors. Unapologetic attitude. If you're looking for something timid, the cracker aisle is two rows over.

Real Humans. Real Meat. Real Feelings.

"OMG, 110% worth it!! 😭🔥 Had the killer honey chipotle jerky, forgot about the spicy chili on my hands, and tried to take my contacts out. Pure eye-searing agony. ​Tears were streaming, but the sweet, smoky flavor was so elite I couldn't stop eating. Wash your hands first, but 10/10 recommend"
