Our Story

For as long as I can remember, I've been into cars my entire life. I have fond memories as a kid playing with hot wheels, watching Pixar's "Cars", and sitting on my dad's lap holding the steering wheel while he drives. Cars have been an obsession and a lifestyle for me since I could breathe. However, it wasn't until I grew up and started attending college that the idea of Open Road Jerky came to life. By that point in my life, I was living an active and healthy lifestyle, and I desperately craved a protein-filled snack in my diet. I turned to beef jerky for that snack, but there was one issue: I was sick and tired of all the traditional jerky you buy in stores. So, I did what any normal person does, and started making my own beef jerky. I played around with different marinades that were low in sugar, used only natural ingredients, and tasted absolutely phenomenal. Fast forward a few months later, and a lightbulb went off in my head. What if I combined these two things? Cars and beef jerky are like a match made in heaven. Whether on a road trip and you are craving a healthy snack, or during long sessions of repairing your car, beef jerky is a go-to snack for all gearheads alike! And that is when Open Road Jerky was born.

I made it my mission from that day forward to provide the car community with the best snack on earth, because Open Road Jerky isn't just about jerky; it's about fueling your passion for cars one delicious bite at a time.

Our Mission

At Open Road Jerky, we're more than just a jerky company. We're driven by our passion for anything with tires and an engine (preferably a loud exhaust too). Our journey began with a simple idea: To create the perfect snack for those who love automotive machines, crave a burst of protein for late-night garage wrenching, and appreciate delicious, handcrafted jerky.

Our Promises

We source only the finest cuts of meat and use carefully selected ingredients to ensure every bite is the best jerky you have ever tasted. Not only that, but Open Road Jerky is processed in a Level 3 SQF Certified USDA facility, meaning our beef jerky is made to the most strict of standards.

Flavor: Our jerky isn't just a snack; it's quite literally the best tasting jerky you will ever have. We take pride in providing our customers with an exceptional product that will make them never want any other jerky that isn't Open Road Jerky.
