Made-to-Order Jerky

We don’t stockpile jerky. Every batch is produced only after your order is placed.

That means:

No warehouse aging

No stale inventory

Maximum freshness and texture control

Each run is sliced, seasoned, and dried in small batches to ensure consistent quality. Flavors are built deliberately—not mass-produced—so what you receive is exactly how it should taste.

Why Made-to-Order Matters

Most jerky on the market sits packaged for weeks or months. That impacts:

Moisture balance

Texture integrity

Flavor clarity

Our process eliminates that variable. You get jerky at its optimal point, not past it.

Production Timeline

Orders are processed immediately

Production begins within 24–48 hours

Typical turnaround: 2–4 days before shipping

No shortcuts. No rush drying.

Quality Control

Every batch is:

Trimmed and cut with consistency in mind

Marinated using measured ratios (not guesswork)

Dried to target water activity for safety and shelf stability

Bottom Line

You’re not buying jerky off a shelf.

You’re getting a fresh, controlled batch made specifically for you.

Made in Southern Alberta, our jerky is all about flavour you can trust. Every cut, every marinade, every slice is crafted with care — from our signature Teriyaki to the sweet warmth of Sweet Pepper, and the rich notes of Maple Bourbon.

We know jerky. We know flavour. That’s why ours is tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with taste — never artificial, never rushed. Thinly sliced, marinated with purpose, and dried just right, every bite is Alberta-made goodness you can taste

This is more than jerky. It’s craft, flavour, and pride in every bag ..

“Using only top-quality, inspected cuts for the best taste.”

Handcrafted quality

Every batch of Cowhand Jerky is handcrafted with care in Claresholm, Alberta. We use a time-honoured process of marinating, smoking, and drying to create a texture and flavour that's truly exceptional.

We start with quality prairie beef, sliced and seasoned in small batches to ensure consistency and bold flavour in every bite. Each batch is slowly cold- or hot-smoked using real wood smoke, then carefully dried to lock in flavour without sacrificing tenderness.

The result is jerky that delivers a deep smoky aroma, balanced seasoning, and a satisfying chew—never overly dry, never greasy. No shortcuts. No mass production. Just honest craftsmanship and flavour you can taste from the first bite to the last.
