Our commitment to quality starts with the selection of meat. We take pride in using only the finest, and that's why we exclusively employ USDA Prime grade brisket. This decision speaks volumes on the kind of standards we maintain. Prime grade meat is celebrated for its extensive marbling. Also it’s the highest grade for USDA and one of the hard to find grades considering it’s only 2-5% of beef sold in the foodservice industry.

12 months is the shelf life of our jerky. When stored away from heat and direct sunlight, our jerky retains its quality for up to 12 months—a claim validated by rigorous real-time testing at a food laboratory. Once opened, we advise enjoying the jerky within a week to experience its optimal taste and texture. This is not say that it wont be good for longer, just like a bag chips, it will eventually become stale. For your convenience and assurance, every bag is clearly marked with a 'Best Before' date.

We offer free FedEx standard shipping on most U.S. orders over $55. For orders under that amount, a flat $5 fee will apply. Packages are typically picked up by carriers Monday through Friday, so orders completed over the weekend or on holidays will be processed the next business day.

At MMMJerky, we prioritize quality over quantity, which is why we often can’t keep inventory on hand—our jerky is spoken for before it’s even finished. Unlike mass-produced jerky, ours is made to order, handcrafted with care, and held to the highest standards for a truly exceptional experience. While this approach may result in longer wait times, we believe it's well worth it. As a small local business, we value each order deeply, treating every batch as if it were our own to ensure we deliver only the best.

It’s really a personal preference, just like how some people like the traditional American fatty bacon and others prefer Canadian bacon or even turkey bacon. Our artisan jerky is unique, it stands apart from the rest, and sometimes it’s not for everybody. It's thin, crispy, and boasts a secret ingredient - fat! Our fat delivers a remarkable melt-in-your-mouth experience, perfectly complementing the explosive bursts of umami flavor that will have your taste buds dancing with delight; or not (if it’s not your thing).

At this time, MMMJerky is prioritizing the refinement of our ingredient list to enhance the quality and transparency of our products. While we are unable to develop new flavors at the moment, we appreciate your understanding as we focus on these essential improvements. Our commitment to delivering the best jerky experience remains unwavering, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you in the future.

The answer is a simple YES! Please reach out to us with specific details of your request, whether it's for custom labels for party favors or a unique batch of jerky. We'll do our utmost to cater to your requirements. However, kindly note that everything we create is handmade in batches. So, if you're interested in customizing a flavor to your preference, it will be produced using an entire slab of brisket. This means you'll be purchasing the entire batch.

We are open by appointment only. To visit or pick up your order, please email us to set a date and time. We do not have inventory on-site but will try to meet your request with notice. We aim to have regular hours soon, so check for updates. Thank you for your patience.

Just a reminder, we make every effort to prioritize and accommodate our local community!

Unfortunately, we don’t have a landline at the facility. We're living in a digital age, and at MMMJerky, desk phones are a thing of the past. When we’re not responding to emails, packing orders, or catching up on sleep, we’re focused on making some bomb ass jerky for y’all.

As some of you may know, the MMMJerky founders are night owls, so what might be a good time for you may not be ideal for us to answer calls. That said, nothing is urgent enough that a message on Instagram or email won’t do the job just as well!

UPDATE (March 2025): After thoughtful consideration, we've decided to permanently discontinue the 16oz size due to ongoing quality control. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

Like many people, I tend to buy the larger bag because it feels like a better deal, but then I end up savoring it slowly, and before long, the jerky goes stale. The result? You're not enjoying it the way we intended. The bigger issue is this: if you store a large bag for too long, it risks losing its freshness. Once opened, it needs to be consumed quickly to stay at its best quality.

This decision wasn’t about money—it was about making sure you enjoy the jerky exactly how we meant it: crispy, with the fat melting in your mouth. We don’t want anyone settling for stale jerky just to save a few bucks. Unless you’re like Lena’s cousin, who oddly enjoys it that way, it’s just not the same.

We’re so sorry :’(

The unicorn waitlist/queuing system ended up being more challenging than we anticipated. As a small, locally-run business with limited staff, our daily production capacity is restricted. To streamline our process and improve efficiency, we've decided to move away from the waitlist and switch to a drop/release system for now.
