WHO WE ARE
Roughage for a Rough Age
As a Jack and Jill of all trades, neither of us could decide what we wanted to be when we grew up. So between the two of us, we have had jobs that included everything from a dog trainer, to a US Marine, to a special needs educator, to a welder/pipe fitter, and the list goes on...
We started making jerky back in 2010 after taking a camping trip to the Sierra Nevadas together. Traveling along Ca-Hwy 395, we saw several signs advertising for some "Really Good Beef Jerky". Some of these signs were strategically placed some 295 miles from the actual location. Along the way we kept periodically seeing these signs for some "Really GOOD Beef Jerky...Their ploy worked. We stopped at the shop which was a tiny little stand on the side of the road. It was just as their advertising said, it WAS really good beef jerky.
Being budding Foodies, we decided we could make our own jerky...Ours would be just as good as the one that we travelled miles to taste.
And so it began....
Throughout the years we started making jerky and gave it away as gifts so our friends and family could try it. They seemed to love it, so we kept making it. Then people started asking for it! So we kept making it...
In the meantime, we started developing the process in which we make our jerky, as well as creating new flavors. We listened to those who loved what we were making and believed in what we were trying to build. The flavors we have are a result of those who have supported us along the way. They have been a huge part of who we are and our products and we are so grateful for them.
In the many years that we have been making jerky, we have always strived to create a jerky that not only is homemade but is also gourmet in its flavor.
Our flavored jerky is not only marinated and dried, but is also coated a second time to create a candied flavor that gets those taste buds going.

Our adventure didn't stop with the jerky...
Being a Jack & Jill of all trades, we had to venture into areas other than jerky. In all of our explorations, soap making became a major interest of ours.
And after tons of experimentation and feedback from those around us, we came up with a few soap recipes that people seemed to love. These recipes became a regular part of our inventory of products
...It continued to build from there.

Today we will continue to make new products...
I addition to our jerky & soaps, these products will be unique, "one-of-a-kind", hand-crafted items including: home decor pieces, knitted blankets, hand-turned wooden pens, and whatever else we are inspired to create. We put a lot of time and effort into producing high-quality products that we are not only proud of, but of ones that our customers will also love.

Again these items are "one-of-a-kind", so they will go quickly!
Thank you to all of our family and friends who have supported us over the years! Your support and feedback throughout our journey has been so invaluable to us and who we are today.
